Subscription is a service that provides special features to the user. For various programs, the user has to subscribe to the plan, and then he can use it. When it expires, the user has to renew it manually. These subscriptions are available as monthly or yearly plans. Sometimes, renewing the program manually seems bothersome when you are using the subscription for streaming sites or essential tools. When they expire, you can’t use the tools until you renew them. For those programs, users can choose the auto-renewal feature. It renews the program and makes payment from your account automatically. Using this feature prevents subscription expiry. When a user is not accessing the application anymore, he has to cancel the subscription. If not, the plan will renew whether you have an application installed on the system or not.
Cancel your subscription and prevent auto-renewal
People often subscribe to the service for a certain time like for watching a show or a tool for a particular job. Once your job completes, you should disable the subscription. You don’t need to wait till the expiry date. If you are cancelling the license, do it now. The left days on the subscription will not lapse. You can use the program without any errors.

Renewing the program’s license manually
The user won’t get the auto-renewal service on every program. After your subscription expires, the user has to check for the manual renewal function. If you have disabled auto-renewal but now you want to access the program then renew it manually. Users don’t need to renew the subscription immediately after expiry. You should renew the license only when you require the program. Don’t create a new account or install a new setup. Users can use the same setup and account for renewing. Open the program’s account and then open its subscription page. Hit the Renew option next to the expiry status. The user has to provide details and then the plan will renew immediately. For upgrading, you can use the same account but you have to install the new setup. Remove your expired program from the system and then install the upgraded application.
