About Subscription Expiration

If auto-renewal is turned off or unavailable for your multi-seat subscription, you can renew the subscription manually during 30 days before or after it expires.

At your billing email address, you receive email notifications 30, 15, 7, and 1 day(s) before the expiration, as well as one last email on the expiration date.

Example: your multi-seat subscription expires in 7 days
