# Why can't I extend my trial a second time?

Trial extensions are limited — often to just one — and counted **per Mac and per email address** together, so once you've used them the option no longer appears. It also only shows when an extension is currently being offered.

If you need longer to decide, you can still pick a plan, apply a coupon, or activate a code you've been given — all from the same trial-ended screen.
