Renew Image Downloader License — Keep PRO Features Active
An expired license does not erase your saved tasks, but it does lock the advanced options-page controls you rely on for filtered, renamed, and processed downloads.
If you use Licensed PRO regularly, knowing how to renew image downloader license access before a deadline is part of the workflow.
Where renewal happens
Renewal starts in the extension, not in a separate desktop app. Open the Get License panel on the options page and check:
- License key
- Status: Active, Expired, or No License
- Expiration date in your local timezone
If the license is expired or missing, click Get License, choose a plan on the shop page, complete checkout, then return to the extension. Activation should refresh automatically after purchase.
Licensed PRO activation requires you to be signed in.
What renewal keeps working
Staying on Licensed PRO preserves the full download-task toolkit:
- Unrestricted URL counts per task
- Filters, filename rules, folder naming, and Download IF URL rules
- Resize, convert, EXIF cleanup, and PNG watermarking on tasks
- Duplicate review plus 404 and redirect checking
- Bulk CSV task import
Your existing tasks, drafts, saved rules, and sessions remain in local browser storage. Renewal restores access to the controls, not a blank install.
Renew before the big batch
The worst time to notice expiration is halfway through a large job, when advanced controls suddenly lock and a tuned task cannot run as configured.
A simple habit helps:
- Check license status in the top status area before starting
- Renew early when expiration is near
- Export task CSV backups so settings are safe regardless of license state
If access drops before you renew
When a license lapses, the extension behaves closer to Basic (Free) on the options page: URL-list downloading may still work, but advanced tabs and processing controls lock until PRO access returns.
After renewal, sign in if needed and confirm status shows Active before running PRO-only workflows such as CSV import or unrestricted multi-URL tasks.
If renewal completes but the extension still shows the wrong tier, a clean reinstall after exporting backups can refresh local license state without losing your account purchase.

Set the rules once and the next similar URL list runs without reconfiguring anything.
The filters and the download share one browser surface, so there is no hand-off to a desktop tool.
What an expired licence does not delete
Your tasks, drafts, saved rules, and sessions live in local browser storage, and they survive the licence expiring. What stops is the set of task controls: filters, filename rules, folder naming, resize, convert, EXIF cleanup, watermarking, duplicate review, and bulk CSV import. Renewing restores access to work you never lost.
Renew before a scheduled job
If you know a large batch is coming, check the expiration date in the Get Licence panel beforehand rather than the morning it is due. The panel shows status and the expiration date in your local timezone, which avoids the common mistake of comparing it against a server clock.
Keep the activation email handy
Licensed PRO activation checks the licence against an account. If the purchase was made as a guest, the account was created from the name and email entered at checkout, so signing in with that same email is what restores access. A different address means a different account with no licence on it.
