Frequently Asked Questions

What To Do After I Renew My License?

No action is required if your annual license was active before the renewal. But if your annual license has expired for more than 5 days when you renew, consider Redeploy Safe Doc to reactivate the annual license key.

I want to subscribe. But it says "Subscription unavailable until" some date?

If your annual license will expire in more than one year from now, the Safe Doc customer portal does not allow subscriptions. You can wait until the next available date or make a one-time payment.

I subscribed, but why is my annual license not renewed? 

If you have an active annual license when you subscribe to automatic renewal, the subscription does not bill you until the day before the annual license expires. Hence, your annual license is not renewed at the moment when you opt in the subscription. 

Can I renew multiple times?

Yes, you can renew twice for 2 years or 3 times or 3 years.
