  • Your data is NOT deleted
  • Renew anytime to restore access

Grace Period ​

We offer a 7-day grace period after expiration during which you can renew without any disruption.

🔒 License Validation ​

How It Works ​

The license system:

  1. Validates your license key
  2. Checks expiration status
  3. Enables appropriate features
  4. Periodically revalidates

Offline Usage ​

  • Plugins require internet for initial activation
  • Periodic revalidation needed (every 7 days)
  • Extended offline use may degrade to Free tier

Security ​

The license validation system is protected. Tampering with it:
