Handling subscription expiration

I'm looking to implement this for subscription-based licenses--the customer has to renew each year or the software stops working. When they renew, we'll just extend the expiration date for the existing license key so they don't have to reactivate. Easy to do with custom fields, as shown in your SaaS example.

What is the best way to make sure the software has the new expiration date when they renew? It looks like I would need to be calling IsGenuineEx and forcing a server call daily by setting daysBetweenChecks to 1, until I detect that they have renewed.

What happens when the software stops working because they didn't renew and they call and do a renewal and want the software working again right away? Any way to force the software to update the license other than deactivate/reactivate?

Nope, we cover this in-depth here:

Yes, covered in the custom license fields docs -- see the links. Give them a prompt so they can renew.

Sorry--missed that somehow. Thanks.
