Frequently asked questions about Partner Launch Benefits (FAQ)
My membership end date, benefits end date, and office subscriptions end date aren't matching. Why?
There are three different dates that you should be aware of:
- Membership end date: This date is 365 days from the date of purchase of your membership.
- Benefits end date: This date is membership date + 30 days. We give you 30 days of renewal window and ensure that benefits aren't expired during the renewal window.
- Office Subscription end date: Office keys once redeemed (with previous membership) are valid for 365 days from date of actual activation. However, this date can vary depending on how you activated Office keys during earlier redemption. This date might or might not align with your membership/benefits end date. To learn more, see Cloud services.
