==== Purchase Yearly Upgrade for Owned License ====

For an owned license, after the initial year of free upgrades has expired, you will need to purchase a yearly upgrade if you want to keep LSWS up to date. If you don't want to purchase the upgrade, you can  simply keep using your current version. 

To upgrade:

    * Login to your client area from online store, and select "Order", then "Add On". Select the license for which you want to purchase a yearly upgrade.
    * Your license will be renewed on the LiteSpeed license server automatically once your invoice is paid. 
    * Your local license.key will be refreshed in one day. If you want it to take effect immediately, please do a graceful restart to retrieve a new license key. <code>lsws/bin/lswsctrl restart</code>
    * You can verify this by <code>lsws/bin/lshttpd -V</code>
If you don't see update expiration extended, please create a ticket with our license department from the online store.
    * You will receive a new invoice after a year, you can pay the invoice to get another year extension. If you no longer need to use LSWS, you can [[litespeed_wiki:licenses:license-cancellation|request cancellation]] to avoid new bills.
