just purchased the virtualmin License, which is valid for one year, but what happens when it expires, does the "licensed" features stops working or the license period is only for updates-upgrades ?
When the license expires, Virtualmin continues to function, and the Master Admin just receives a warning message that the license is expired.
However, you can no longer receive additional Virtualmin updates at that point, until either renewing the license, or you can downgrade your system to Virtualmin GPL.
Also, note that when you purchase a renewal -- the renewal is applied to when the Virtualmin license expired, not when you purchase it.
thank you for reply, so it means I have to wait until this license expires before I renew it ?
than I should perhaps purchase lifetime unlimited license with no expiration...
Howdy,

Thank You for reply !
Best regards Amel
Howdy,
You're quite welcome to buy a renewal now or whenever -- renewals are applied to when your license expires, and not the day you buy them.
So if you wait a month after your license expires to renew your license -- the renewal is applied from when it expired a month ago.
