If you have a problem that requires a hot fix but do not have a current subscription, you will have to renew before you can benefit from the fix. You can renew your subscription either when we send you a reminder or at any other time.
If your subscription expires in December and you buy a renewal early, say in September, the renewal adds twelve months to your subscription from the expiry date. Renewing an existing subscription is cheaper than renewing an expired subscription.
