# Co-term a subscription pack All subscriptions in a subscription pack share the same billing cycle, payment method, and usually the same renewal date. If the dates don’t match, they can be aligned through a process called co-terming. Subscriptions in a single pack [automatically co-term](#Automatic-co-terming) on the nearest payment date, but you can also [co-term them manually](#Manual-co-terming). ## Automatic co-terming at renewal When you [renew your subscription pack](renew-a-subscription-pack.html), all subscriptions are automatically co-termed to a common payment date. How this date is calculated depends on how long you're renewing for. ### One-month and one-year renewal With standard 1-month or 1-year renewals, the co-terming anchor is the earliest expiration date in the pack. Add one billing period to it — a month or a year — and you get the new payment date. All subscriptions in the pack renew until that date: * Subscriptions with the earliest expiration date renew for a full billing period. * All other subscriptions renew for a shorter period, until the new common payment date. Their cost is adjusted accordingly. #### Example Here's how it works in practice. Say you have a subscription pack with 7 annual subscriptions: * 3 × IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, valid through April 24, 2025 * 1 × PyCharm, valid through January 30, 2026 * 3 × WebStorm, valid through March 24, 2026 IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate expires first, on April 25, 2025. This becomes the co-terming anchor: all 7 subscriptions renew for one year from that date, through April 24, 2026: * IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate renews for 365 days (April 25, 2025 – April 24, 2026). * PyCharm renews for 84 days (January 31 – April 24, 2026). * WebStorm renews for 31 days (March 25 – April 24, 2026). ### Two and three-year renewals > **Tip:** > [Multi-year renewals](https://sales.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/37308816327570) are available for some products at checkout. Scheduled automatic renewals are always annual. With a multi-year renewal, the date you place your renewal order at checkout becomes the co-terming anchor. The new common payment date is set 2 or 3 years from that date. * Any subscriptions due for renewal on the day you place your order renew for the full period — 2 or 3 years. * The rest are extended to the new payment date, each for a different period. Subscriptions expiring before your order date renew for more than 2 or 3 years, and those expiring after renew for a shorter period. ### Example Let's get back to the subscription pack from the previous example. * 3 × IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, valid through April 24, 2025 * 1 × PyCharm, valid through January 30, 2026 * 3 × WebStorm, valid through March 24, 2026 Let's say you renew on April 27, 2025, which becomes the co-terming anchor. Renewing for 2 years will extend all 7 subscriptions through April 26, 2027: * IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate renews for a little more than two years — 732 days (April 27, 2025 – April 26, 2027). * PyCharm renews for about 15 months – 451 days (January 31, 2026 – April 26, 2027). * WebStorm renews for about 13 months – 398 days (March 25, 2026 – April 26, 2027). ## Manual co-terming before renewal Co-terming doesn't have to happen at renewal — you can [do it at any time](#Co-term-a-subscription-pack-manually). Here’s how it works: * The common payment date moves up to match the latest renewal date in the pack. Subscriptions due on that date stay intact — no billing cycle changes or extra charges. * Subscriptions expiring sooner are extended to the new payment date, and you pay only for the extra time. ### Example Say you want to co-term th subscription pack from the earlier example: * 3 × IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, valid through April 24, 2025 * 1 × PyCharm, valid through January 30, 2026 * 3 × WebStorm, valid through March 24, 2026 When you do, the pack’s payment date moves to March 25, 2026, aligning it with your WebStorm subscriptions, which expire last: * IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate subscriptions are extended by 334 days (April 25, 2025 – March 24, 2026). * The PyCharm subscription are extended by 53 days (January 31 – March 24, 2026). * The WebStorm subscriptions keep their current renewal date. ## Co-term a subscription pack manually before renewal Procedure: 1.
