Important: The Prod deployment type value now covers both Production and Non-Production Sitecore xDB Cloud Pricing Tiers/Licenses.
This applies to all versions of Sitecore App Center.
To change your NonProd deployment to a Prod deployment, in the \App_Config\Include\XdbCloud\Sitecore.Cloud.Xdb.config file, set the Sitecore.Cloud.Xdb.DeploymentType setting to the Prod value:
<setting name="Sitecore.Cloud.Xdb.DeploymentType" value="Prod" />
