Do I lose any licence term by renewing early?
No. Any remaining term is carried over to your new licence. In fact, there are a number of advantages in renewing early, chief among them are:
- The current price is 'locked in' and protects you against inevitable price increases.
- Things always take longer than you feel they should and this often applies to the purchasing process. Renewing early can prevent any last minute panics.
- It can reduce workload by preventing any last minute chasing emails and distributing extension licencee before getting the 'real' ones.
- You prevent your users from getting the 'Licence is expiring in 10 days' type messages from the software.
- You ensure that you always have a decent amount of time to run on your licence, meaning that you can ride out any unforeseen circumstances.
So, the bottom line is, if you can, renew early. There are no downsides but you may be able to save yourself some grief. Even renewing 6 months ahead of expiry makes a lot of sense.
