There are several scenarios where renewing your license early can be beneficial:

*   We are running a deal and you want to renew at the discount price.
*   You prefer to change the date of your subscription to better align with your billing cycle.
*   You want to update the card used for your subscription (this can also be done via your [Account](https://wpsecurityninja.com/account/) area).

## How Early Renewal Works (You Don’t Lose Any Time)

When you renew your license before it expires, your existing time is **not** lost.  
Freemius (our licensing and billing provider) simply **extends** your current license by one full billing period:

*   **Monthly plans:** +30 days
*   **Annual plans:** +365 days

That extra time is added on top of whatever you have left on your current license.

**Example:**  
If you are on an annual plan and your license expires in 5 days, and you renew today:

*   Your current 5 remaining days are kept.
*   Freemius adds another 365 days for the new term.
*   Your new expiry date will be in **370 days** (5 existing days + 365 days).

This means you can safely renew early to take advantage of discounts or change your billing date **without losing any remaining time** on your current license.
