How to Reserve IP-Blocks

Suppliers can reserve their IP-blocks or any sub-blocks so they stop appearing on the Marketplace starting from a selected date. A reserved block becomes hidden from Customers and cannot be rented until the reserve period ends or the Supplier deletes the reserve.

What is a Reserve?

A reserve is a Supplier-side action that hides selected IP-blocks from the Marketplace for future use, internal planning, migrations, or operational needs.

Once a reserve becomes active:

• The block is not visible on the Marketplace.
• The block cannot be rented.
• The block remains visible to the Supplier under My reserves.

The Supplier can delete the reserve at any time before it starts or during the reserve period.
