How do license expiration times work?

pls

My current Quicken license expires in May 2021. If I take advantage of the current sales and buy a year license, does it
- extend my license time to May 2022, or
- extend my license time to November 2021?

Thanks

It is an extension, so May 2022.  But you can only extend the subscription during the last six (6) months of the current subscription.  If you buy from Quicken.com, the extension is applied at the time of purchase, but you have to be in the last six months as stated earlier to make the purchase.  If you are buying from a retail partner, you can hold the activation code until you are within the six month window.

BTW, if you are looking at the 40% deals that Quicken.com is offering, they only apply to "new" users (or a subscription that is expired by 30 days or more), not some one with an existing, active subscription .  To take advantage of those deals, you would have to purchase under a different Quicken Id and the subscription would start at the time of the purchase, so that would not be a good deal for you.
