## Renew your license manually

Some customers (for example in countries where PayPal subscriptions are unreliable) prefer to renew by hand instead of relying on auto-renewal.

### Steps for manual renewal

1. Log in to your [account page](https://wpsecurityninja.com/docs/account/my-account-page/) with the email attached to the license.
2. Open **Renewals & Billing** and click your license to show more options.
3. Click **Renew** to open the payment window.

### Prorated renewals

Renewing early can change what you pay. Freemius prorates early renewals so you keep the remaining value of your current term. See the [proration policy](https://wpsecurityninja.com/docs/license/early-license-renewal-proration/).

### Why renew early?

*   Occasional deals let you renew at a discount.
*   Early renewal can move your subscription date.
*   You can update the card used for the subscription.

### How to renew early

1. Go to the [pricing page](https://wpsecurityninja.com/pricing/) and click **Get Started**.
2. In checkout, click **Renewing or upgrading a license?**
3. Enter your license key and click **Apply**.
4. If you have a coupon, open **Have a promotional code?** and apply it.

You can also downgrade or [upgrade your license](https://wpsecurityninja.com/docs/license/how-upgrade-license/) from that flow. More account options: [My account page](https://wpsecurityninja.com/docs/account/my-account-page/).
