Can I renew early during a sale without losing update time?
Yes. An early renewal adds 18 months to your existing update expiry date. For BusyCal and BusyContacts licenses bought directly from BusyMac, you keep all the update time remaining on the license you renew. This also applies when you renew during a Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or other sale.
You can renew within 90 days before your update period ends, or any time after it ends. If your update period has already expired, the renewal provides 18 months from the renewal date. It is not backdated to the old expiry date.
What happens when I renew before my updates expire?
For example, suppose your BusyCal updates are covered through January 15, 2027, and you renew on November 30, 2026. Your new update expiry date is July 15, 2028, which is 18 months after your existing expiry date. The time between your November purchase and January expiry remains included.
Sale pricing changes what you pay. It does not change how your renewed update period is calculated.
What if I renew BusyCal and BusyContacts together?
Bundle Renewal calculates each license's new update expiry date separately. Renewing both apps in one purchase does not give them a shared expiry date or remove time from either license.
For example, if you renew both apps on November 30, 2026:
- If BusyCal's current updates end on January 15, 2027, its new update expiry is July 15, 2028.
- If BusyContacts' updates have already expired, its new update expiry is May 30, 2028, which is 18 months after the renewal date.
Each license must be eligible for renewal: its update period must have ended or be within 90 days of ending.
How do I renew my existing license?
Open the store's License Renewals tab and enter your existing registration code in the form for your app. To renew eligible licenses together, click Renew Multiple Licenses under Bundle Renewal.
Renewal is optional. Your perpetual license lets you keep using the last version covered by it. See Licensing Explained for the full policy.
