# How-To Renew your License

When you purchase a **ClickWhale Pro license**, you’ll receive a **license key valid for one year** from the date of purchase. ClickWhale Pro operates on an **annual subscription model**, similar to many popular premium WordPress plugins. Even if your license expires, **your data remains fully accessible**, ensuring uninterrupted access to your existing links, stats, and settings

You can **renew your ClickWhale Pro license** at any time after it expires to regain access to updates and priority support.

## How to renew my license?

If your **ClickWhale Pro license key** is nearing its expiration date, you'll receive an **email reminder** with a direct link and step-by-step **instructions on how to renew your license**.

If you don’t receive the renewal email or accidentally delete it, you can still **renew your ClickWhale Pro license** by logging into your [**Freemius account**](https://clickwhale.pro/account/).

## What happens if my license expires?

Once your **ClickWhale Pro license** expires, the plugin will continue to function with its existing features. However, you will **no longer receive plugin updates** or have access to **priority email support** until the license is renewed.

For example, if you're using the **latest version of ClickWhale Pro** and your premium subscription expires today, you'll still retain access to all current features. However, if a new version is released next month with enhancements or features you’d like to use, you'll need to **renew your license** to update the plugin. Renewing your license grants you access to **all future updates**, **new features**, and continued **priority email support** for the next year.
