# Why can't I move apps when my licence or trial has ended?

New moves, offloads and other automatic actions pause while your licence isn't active. Nothing is deleted, and apps you've already moved stay where they are and keep opening normally.

Reactivating your licence turns everything back on where it left off. See [the trial and licence guide](https://storagestudio.us/manual/trial).
