Question Link
Answer
Example:

You have 5 licenses that expire on 8/21/2018

           You renew 7 licenses on 7/21/2018

           daysToAdd = (daysRemained + daysPurchased)/totalQuantity

            newExpirationDate = actualDate + daysToAdd

            daysRemained = (oldExpirationDate – actualDate) * oldQuantity

            daysRemained = (8/21/2018 – 7/21/2018) * 5 = 155 days

             daysPurchased = newQuantityRenew* 365 = 7 * 365 = 2555 days

             totalQuantity = newQuantityRenew = 7

             daysToAdd = (155+ 2555) / 7 = 387 days

             newExpirationDate = 8/21/2018 + 387 days = 9/12/2019
How is the finish date calculated if I upgrade from Standard to Business Subscription?
Question Link
Answer
1. If you have less than or equal with 365  remaining days for the Standard Subscription, the finish date is calculated with the following formula:

RemaingCost = 70 - [(70/365) * RemainingDays]

DaysToAdd = RemainingCost / (199.99 / 365)

FinishDate = OldFinishDate + DaysToAdd

Example

You have 1 Standard Subscription that expires after 50 days on 10/25/2019

RemainingCost = 70 - [(70 / 365)  *  50] = 60.41

DaysToAdd  = 60.41 / 0.5479 = 110 days

FinishDate = 10/25/2019 + 110 days = 2/12/2020

2. If you have greater than 365 remaining days for the Standard Subscription, the finish date is calculated with the following formula:

TotalRemainigCost = [RemainingDays * (129.99 / 365)] + 70

DaysToAdd = TotalRemainingCost / (199.99 / 365)

FinishDate = CurrentDate + DaysToAdd

Example

You have 1 Standard Subscription that expires after 700 days on 9/24/2020

RemainingCost = [700 * (129.99 / 365)]+ 70= 319.29

DaysToAdd  = 319.29 / 0.5479 = 583 days

FinishDate = 10/25/2018 + 583 days = 5/29/2020

How is the finish date calculated if I have active Standard/Business subscriptions and I want to purchase one or multiple subscriptions?
Question Link
Answer
The finish date will be calculate like this:

           daysToAdd = (daysRemained + daysPurchased)/totalQuantity

          newExpirationDate = actualDate + daysToAdd

Example:

You have 5 licenses that expires on 8/21/2018.

               You want to purchase 2 more licenses on 7/21/2018.

               daysRemained = (oldExpirationDate – actualDate) * oldQuantity

               daysRemained = (8/21/2018 – 7/21/2018) * 5 = 155 days.

               daysPurchased = newQuantityPurchased * 365 = 2 * 365 = 730 days

              totalQuantity = oldQuantity + newQuantityPurchased = 5 + 2 = 7

              daysToAdd = (155 + 730) / 7 = 126 days

              newExpirationDate = 7/21/2018 (actualDate) + 126days = 12/25/2018
