-Solutions
-~~~~~~~~~
-
-* Do you have a valid Enterprise subscription?
-
-  * Check if your subscription details get the tag "In Progress" on
-    your `Odoo Account
-    <https://accounts.odoo.com/my/subscription>`__ or with your Account Manager
-
-* Have you already linked a database with your subscription reference?
-
-  * You can link only one database per subscription.
-    (Need a test or a development database? `Find a partner
-    <https://www.odoo.com/partners>`__)
-
-  * You can unlink the old database yourself on your `Odoo Contract
-    <https://accounts.odoo.com/my/subscription>`__ with the button "Unlink database"
-
-    .. image:: on_premise/unlink_single_db.png
-
-    A confirmation message will appear; make sure this is the correct database as
-    it will be deactivated shortly:
-
-    .. image:: on_premise/unlink_confirm_enterprise_edition.png
-
-* Do you have the updated version of Odoo 9?
-
-  * From July 2016 onward, Odoo 9 now automatically change the uuid of a
-    duplicated database; a manual operation is no longer required.
-
-  * If it's not the case, you may have multiple databases sharing the same
-    UUID. Please check on your `Odoo Contract
-    <https://accounts.odoo.com/my/subscription>`__, a short message will appear
-    specifying which database is problematic:
-
-    .. image:: on_premise/unlink_db_name_collision.png
-
-    In this case, you need to change the UUID on your test databases to solve this
-    issue. You will find more information about this in :ref:`this section <duplicate_premise>`.
-
-    For your information, we identify database with UUID. Therefore, each database
-    should have a distinct UUID to ensure that registration and invoicing proceed
-    effortlessly for your and for us.
-
-* Check your network and firewall settings
-
-  * The Update notification must be able to reach Odoo's subscription
-    validation servers. In other words, make sure that the Odoo server is able
-    to open outgoing connections towards:
-
-      * services.odoo.com on port 443 (or 80)
-      * services.openerp.com on port 443 (or 80) for older deployments
-
-  * Once you activated your database, you must keep these ports open, as the
-    Update notification runs once a week.

-Error message due to too many users
------------------------------------
-
-If you have more users in your local database than provisionned in your
-Odoo Enterprise subscription, you may encounter this message:
-
-.. image:: on_premise/add_more_users.png
-   :alt: This database will expire in X days, you have more users than your subscription allows
-
-
-When the message appears you have 30 days before the expiration.
-The countdown is updated everyday.
-
-Solutions
-~~~~~~~~~
-
-- **Add more users** on your subscription: follow the link and Validate
-  the upsell quotation and pay for the extra users.
-- **Deactivate users** as explained in this `documentation <documentation.html#deactivating-users>`_
-  and **Reject** the upsell quotation.
-
-Once your database has the correct number of users, the expiration message
-will disappear automatically after a few days, when the next verification occurs.
-We understand that it can be a bit frightening to see the countdown,
-so you can :ref:`force an Update Notification <force_ping>`  to make the message disappear
-right away.
-
-Database expired error message
-------------------------------
-
-If your database reaches its expiration date before your renew your subscription,
-you will encounter this message:
-
-.. image:: on_premise/database_expired.png
-   :alt: This database has expired.
-
-This **blocking** message appears after a non-blocking message that lasts 30 days.
-If you fail to take action before the end of the countdown, the database is expired.
-
-Solutions
-~~~~~~~~~
-
-* Renew your subscription: follow the link and renew your subscription - note that
-    if you wish to pay by Wire Transfer, your subscription will effectively be renewed
-    only when the payment arrives, which can take a few days. Credit card payments are
-    processed immediately.

+Common error messages and solutions
+===================================
 
-When you duplicate a local database, it is **strongly** advised to change

-uuid is how your database identifies itself with our servers. Having two

-.. note::
+In case of a registration error, the following message should be displayed.
-   From July 2016 onward, Odoo 9 now automatically change the uuid of a duplicated database; a

-.. image:: on_premise/db_uuid.png
+To resolve the issue:
+
+- Check the **validity of your Odoo Enterprise subscription** by verifying if your subscription
+  details have the tag :guilabel:`In Progress` on your `Odoo Account
+  <https://accounts.odoo.com/my/subscription>`_ or contact your Account Manager.
+
+- Ensure that **no other database is linked** to the subscription code, as only one database can be
+  linked per subscription.
+
+  .. tip::
+     If a test or a development database is needed, you can :ref:`duplicate a database
+     <on-premise/duplicate>`.
+
+- Verify that **no databases share the same UUID** (Universally Unique Identifier) by opening your
+  `Odoo Contract <https://accounts.odoo.com/my/subscription>`_. If two or more databases share the
+  same UUID, their name will be displayed.
+
+  .. image:: on_premise/unlink-db-name-collision.png
+     :alt: Database UUID error message
+
+  If that is the case, manually change the database(s) UUID or `send a support ticket
+  <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_.
+
+- As the update notification must be able to reach Odoo's subscription validation servers, ensure
+  your **network and firewall settings** allow the Odoo server to open outgoing connections
+  towards:
+
+  - `services.odoo.com` on port `443` (or `80`)
+  - for older deployments, `services.openerp.com` on port `443` (or `80`)
+
+  These ports must be kept open even after registering a database, as the update notification runs
+  once a week.
+
+Too many users error
+--------------------
+
+If you have more users in a local database than provisioned in your Odoo Enterprise subscription,
+the following message should be displayed.
+
+.. image:: on_premise/add-more-users.png
+   :alt: Too many users on a database error message
+
+When the message appears, you have 30 days to act before the database expires. The countdown is
+updated every day.
+
+To resolve the issue, either:
+
+- **Add more users** to your subscription by clicking the :guilabel:`Upgrade your subscription` link
+  displayed in the message to validate the upsell quotation and pay for the extra users.
+- :ref:`Deactivate users <users/deactivate>` and **reject** the upsell quotation.
+
+.. important::
+   If you are on a monthly subscription plan, the database will automatically update to reflect the
+   added user(s). If you are on a yearly or multi-year plan, an expiration banner will appear in the
+   database. You can create the upsell quotation by clicking the banner to update the subscription
+   or `send a support ticket <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_ to resolve the issue.
+
+Once your database has the correct number of users, the expiration message disappears automatically
+after a few days, when the next verification occurs.
+
+Database expired error
+----------------------
+
+If your database expires before you renew your subscription, the following message should be
+displayed.
+
+.. image:: on_premise/database-expired.png
+   :alt: Database expired error message
+
+This message appears if you fail to act before the end of the 30-day countdown.
+
+To resolve the issue, either:
+
+- Click the :guilabel:`Renew your subscription` link displayed in the message and complete the
+  process. If you pay by wire transfer, your subscription will be renewed when the payment arrives
+  which can take a few days. Credit card payments are processed immediately.
