# Can I continue using the plugin if I don’t renew the subscription or cancel it?

Yes. If your Pro license expires, you choose not to renew it, or you cancel your subscription, you can keep using the plugin indefinitely. What stops is access to updates and support. Licenses bought in 2023 or later renew yearly, while lifetime licenses offered in the past never expire.

## Lifetime and yearly licenses

- **Lifetime license (offered in the past):** your license is perpetual, so you do not need to worry about validity.
- **Licenses purchased in 2023 and after:** these follow a yearly subscription model and require renewal each year.

## What changes if you do not renew

The plugin keeps working, but there are important points to consider:

1. **No new updates.** You will not get the latest versions that keep the plugin compatible with new releases of WordPress, WooCommerce and other plugins, or new plugin enhancements.
2. **No ongoing support.** Support and assistance depend on a valid license.

## If you cancel your subscription

You can still use the plugin indefinitely. Until the end of your current billing cycle, you continue to get updates and support. Keeping the plugin up to date matters for compatibility with WordPress and WooCommerce and for new features and bug and security fixes, so renewing annually is the way to keep that access.
