# Manage license subscription

With a **license subscription**, you pay an annual fee to use AnyDesk. Your payment method is charged automatically at the start of each billing period unless you cancel the subscription.

You don’t need to pay manually. Your credit card, debit card, or PayPal account is charged automatically to continue your access.

---

## Renew license subscription

You can renew your subscription for another year in the **my.anydesk** management console. After renewal, it continues automatically each year.

> [!TIP]
> 💡 **NOTE**
> 
> If you purchased your license through the [webshop](https://anydesk.com/en/pricing), auto-renewal is turned on by default.

Before you renew, ensure you:

- [Added a payment method.](/v1/docs/payment-methods)
- Don’t have any unpaid invoices. If you do, pay them before renewing.

You’ll get an email reminder 30 days before your license expires.

> [!CAUTION]
> 🚨**IMPORTANT**
> 
> You can cancel the subscription renewal **up to 30 days before the expiration date**. If you do not cancel in time, your subscription will automatically renew for another year.
