Does the subscription renew automatically?

Last updated: 2025-10-21

Payment & Refunds

Both Plugin and Astute Manager Pro subscriptions automatically renew unless manually paused or cancelled.

There are two subscription set ups that are an exception and don't include an auto-renewal option, currently these are:

  • Monthly plugin subscriptions for individual users

  • Annual plugin subscriptions purchased via a Reseller


You can see if your account is set to auto-renew by going to the Billing section of your account. Here, under Products & subscriptions you will see details for:

  • Illustrator Plugins

  • Astute Manager Pro

Click the arrow next to the subscription that you wish to view to see the details.

Subscription - View subscription

If your subscription is set to auto-renew, you will see a "The next payment of (amount) is scheduled for (date) at (time)" message as shown below.
In this instance, on the day that your subscription is due to expire, payment will be automatically taken from your account and the subscription will continue with no action required from you.

Pausing your subscription to prevent auto-renewal

Astute Manager Pro subscriptions
These subscriptions auto-renew each month and cannot be paused, only cancelled. If you cancel the subscription, no further payments will be taken and the subscription will continue to run until expiry. If you then wish to reactivate the subscription, you will be required to enter payment details and checkout again.

Plugin subscriptions
If you want to prevent your plugin subscription from automatically renewing at the end of the subscription period, click on the Manage Astute Graphics plugin Subscription button and then click on Pause subscription.

Subscription - Pause Plugin subscription

Subscription - Pause Plugin subscription

Selecting this option will prevent any automatic renewal payments being taken at the end of the billing period. When renewal is successfully paused, you will instead see a "Resume subscription" option.

If you have paused your subscription this doesn't mean that your subscription has ended, it just means that it won't renew automatically at the end of the subscription period. You will still benefit from the remainder of your subscription and no further payments will be taken unless you choose to restart the subscription by selecting Resume subscription as shown below.
