Auto Pay allows you to pay for your renewals via automatic charge to your credit/debit card according to the settings authorized in your “Manage Subscription” service. You maybe automatically enrolled in Auto Pay upon your first purchase using your current address and current credit card. You may review your next scheduled charge by logging into My Account. You may opt out of Auto Pay during your purchase, or you may change your instructions at any time subject to reasonable limitations. The automatic renewal terms will continue at the selected frequency until you cancel or change your settings, or until pricing changes are implemented in the store options. If your credit card changes, you must update the information in Manage Subscriptions or your renewal may fail.

You may not make changes to automatic charges once a license renewal is displayed as “In Process” on your license.

Auto Pay renewals may be canceled by using the Manage Auto Pay function available after logging into your account. Our cancellation policy does not allow cancellations during the 48 hours prior to a pre-approved scheduled charge, or whenever an “In Process” message is displayed on your renewal status.
