Hi,

The renewal is no more possible if the license expired more than 3 months.

And please note that you can't upgrade HikaShop essential to HikaShop Business if the license as expired.
The upgrade product is there for people who bought HikaShop Essential and realized that they need features of the Business edition. For the same final price (because they already bought HikaShop essential) they can have the Business version.

There is nothing unfair and in all cases, if the license has expired, the renewal (or the upgrade) is no more possible.

Regards,

Hi Jerome,
Thanx for your quick reply.

I still get the option to upgrade essentials (see attachment)
That's why it looks weird..  [ ![hika.jpg](/forum/attachment/35580) ](/forum/attachment/35580 "hika.jpg")

Hi,

That's indeed not correct.
Thanks for your feedback. I've added a patch to the website. It should display properly now.
