# What does "Your subscription has expired. You have days of grace to renew" mean?

Your subscription's paid period has ended. You get a short grace period to renew before Storage Studio stops opening fully at launch. Your files and everything you've moved are untouched either way.

Renew from **Settings → License**. If you think the payment should have gone through, choose **Billing & invoices** there to check your invoices and card on your secure billing page. See [managing your subscription](https://storagestudio.us/manual/manage-subscription).
