If my license is due to expire in May but I see an offer in December, can I buy it and add a year to my license or do I have to wait until I’m coming to the end before I do that? Normally my license ran out in December every year and there were always offers available that were much cheaper than the automatic renewal price so I turned off Automatic Renewal and just bought a new license every year. After complaining about the renewal price difference last year I was offered 6 months free license extension, at the time I just thought is was a gesture to placate me but now I’m thinking it was a tactic to move my license renewal away from the holiday offer period where I was able to find cheaper upgrades. So can I still buy a license at December to add a year from May to the following May or will it only run to the next December?
That’s great, so it’s just a year from date of activation not from date of purchase then? thanks very much!

That is correct. And it is the first activation of the product key, so if you activate on one PC, then install on a new PC in a few months, all activations will expire 1 year from the first activation.
