License Renewal Terms
ApexCharts licenses are structured as annual subscriptions. This page explains how renewals work, what happens at expiry, and how to manage your subscription.
License Types and Renewal Schedules
ApexCharts offers the following license types on 12-month subscription cycles:
Commercial License
- Billed annually, per developer seat.
- Automatically renews 12 months from the date of purchase.
- Renewal notifications are sent to the billing email address on file 30 days prior to subscription expiration.
- If you choose not to renew, you must cancel before the renewal date to avoid being charged for the next cycle.
- After cancellation or non-renewal: your license key expires, licensed features render with a trial watermark, and you no longer receive updates, new features, or technical support. Charts built only from free features are unaffected.
OEM / Redistribution License
- Billed annually, per application redistributed. Each license covers unlimited developer seats on that application.
- Automatically renews 12 months from the date of purchase.
- Renewal notifications are sent to the billing email address on file 30 days prior to subscription expiration.
- Continuous use of ApexCharts within an OEM/embedded product requires an active subscription. If the OEM license lapses and is not renewed, you must cease redistribution of ApexCharts as part of your product until the license is reinstated.
Community License
- Free for organizations whose annual revenue, operating budget, funding, or equivalent financial resources are under USD $2,000,000. No renewal required.
- At $2M or above on any of those measures it is $199 per developer, per year, and renews like any other subscription.
- Pro and Premium are priced on the features you use, not on your size.
How to Renew
Renewals are handled automatically via the payment method on file.
To manually review, update, or cancel your subscription:
- Log in to your ApexCharts account at apexcharts.com/account-management.
- Select the license you wish to manage.
- Choose "Renew Now" to renew immediately, or "Cancel Subscription" to stop automatic renewal.

Grace Period
There is no grace period after subscription expiry. To avoid any disruption to support and update access, please ensure your subscription renews successfully or is manually renewed before the expiry date.
Custom and Multi-Year Agreements
For organizations requiring multi-year commitments, fixed pricing, or custom invoicing terms (e.g., purchase order requirements), please contact our sales team:
- Email: sales@apexcharts.com
Custom agreements are subject to a separately negotiated contract and may include fixed renewal deadlines agreed upon in writing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What happens to my application if my license expires?
Your existing deployment keeps running. Licensed features render with a TRIAL watermark once the subscription expires, and you no longer receive updates or support. Charts built only from free features are unaffected. For OEM licenses, continued redistribution requires an active subscription.
Q: Can I transfer a license to another developer?
Commercial licenses are per-named-developer and are non-transferable. If a developer leaves your organization, please contact sales@apexcharts.com to discuss your options.
Q: Can I upgrade my license tier?
Yes. Contact sales@apexcharts.com to add developer seats, or to add an OEM license if you have started redistributing your product. OEM is priced per application and is not an upgrade path from a per-developer plan.
Q: Do prices change at renewal?
Pricing is current at apexcharts.com/pricing for new or renewal licenses.
