The renew command only applies to domain names. It has no meaning for other object types.

Domains

Renew commands will only be processed if the expiry date of the domain name is within 6 months.

<domain:renew> element

The domain:renew element contains the following child elements:

• A domain:name element that contains the fully qualified name of the domain object whose validity period is to be extended.
•  An optional domain:period element that specifies the registration period in years (y) or months (m). This may currently only be set to 2y or 24m.
