Automatic renewals are applied to all orders placed online. License owners will receive an email notification from us before their license is set to expire asking them to confirm or decline the automatic renewal of their license. If they do not answer, the license will be renewed automatically, and the related credit card charged accordingly.
The automatic renewal is only available for company/private and academic licenses. If you are a student and wish to renew your license, you will need to order a new one.How can I cancel my automatic renewal ?
If you do not want the automatic renewal option to apply to your license, please contact our sales team to opt-out of the program. We will then cancel your auto-renewal and your credit card will not be charged other than for the initial amount of your purchase.
How can I renew my maintenance and support contract (for perpetual licenses only)?

When will my XLSTAT licence expire?
To find out when your license will expire, please log in to your MyXLSTAT account. You can also view your license's expiration date by going to the XLSTAT menu and selecting "About XLSTAT" where the properties of your license will appear.

- Your license key may not have been properly activated, and you are therefore by default only using our free version, limited to 13 features. Learn how to activate your license key.
I have been using XLSTAT for some time now and have lost access to several features?
You may have switched to our limited free version. This can be because:
