What are my options if the subscription is about to expire?
While a subscription is active you and your end users have normal access to your data, services like email and One Drive for business, and Office Com Setup applications. As the admin, you will receive a series of notification via email and in the admin center as your subscription nears its expiration date.
You have a few options before the subscription reaches its expiration date:
• Enable recurring billing for the subscription: you just have to turn on your recurring billing option. Your subscription will be billed on its next billing date and you will be charged for an additional year or month, depending on your current payment frequency.
• Let the subscription expire: if you’re paying by credit card or invoice and you don’t want to continue your subscription turn off your recurring billing. Your payment will expire on its finishing date and you can disregard all related email notifications.
• Just cancel before the subscription expires.
If you let your subscription expires it goes through multiple states before it is ultimately deleted. This gives you as an admin time to reactivate if you want to continue the service or to back up your data if you decide you no longer want the subscription.
