Change license expiration terms

After your device has been deployed and paired, you can change the license expiration terms.

To change license expiration terms:

1. From the device list, locate and select the device you wish to update. The device details display in the device information panel.

2. Select the Deployment tab.

3. For each module, specify the duration in months that the license will last before expiring.

4. For each module, select Auto-renew if you want the license automatically renewed when its term expires.

5. Select Publish to update the device.

   The remaining days the device is licensed is increased by the new duration entered in step 3. If you choose to have the license auto-renew, when the next expiration is due, the term is renewed by the new term length.

   Example:

A device twin is deployed to and paired with an edge device, with its license set to expire after 1 month. After a few days have passed, the device has 23 days remaining before it needs to be re-licensed.

The device is reconfigured so the license is set to expire after 3 months, and redeployed.

Viewing the license status, the device now shows that 113 days are remaining before the license expires (90 days from the new term, added to the 23 days remaining on the previous term.)

Note: The number of days is determined by the number of days in the calendar month, rather than a fixed number of days per month.
