		+	It is '''not''' a good idea to wait until the last day of your license period because it may take a while for your payment to be processed or there might be some other kind of delay. If you renew earlier, you will '''not''' lose any of the remaining days from your previous license period, e.g. if you renew 25 days earlier, when you insert your new activation key you will get 25 + 1095 days or 1120 days total.
