Transfer upgrades can be purchased as "hard" or "soft" upgrades. Hard upgrades are considered to be permanent additions to a customer's subscription and soft upgrades are only applicable for each month (i.e. - they expire at the end of the month and the customer reverts back to the sum of the transfer units that they have subscribed to.) This allows customers who have exceeded their allotment to purchase temporary upgrades specific to that month in the event that they exceed their quota but do not believe that they need to permanently upgrade their quote. Transfer units are not pro-rated.
