Will I lose access immediately after cancelling auto-renewal?

No. Cancelling auto-renewal does not terminate your licence early. You retain full paid access to all features until your current licence expiry date, at which point the tool reverts to the free version with a 500 URL crawl limit.

What happens to my data and saved crawls when my licence expires?

When your licence expires, the SEO Spider returns to the restricted free version. Previously saved crawls cannot be opened, and configuration options set under the paid version become unavailable. Your data files remain on your computer but cannot be accessed without a valid licence.

Yes. Screaming Frog offers a full refund within 14 days of purchase if you are not satisfied. Contact support@screamingfrog.co.uk with your order number and reason. No pro-rata refunds are offered after the 14-day window. Refunds are credited back to the original payment method within 3–5 business days.

How do I reactivate my licence after it expires?

Purchase a new annual licence at https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/licence/. Note that purchasing before your current licence expires does not extend it — the new term starts from the purchase date, not from expiry.

Does Screaming Frog auto-renew by default?

No. Licences do not auto-renew by default. Auto-renewal is only active if you explicitly selected the 'Auto Renew' option during checkout. If you did not opt in, your licence simply expires at the end of the year with no charge.

Can I transfer my licence to someone else?

Yes, once per year. Log in to My Account, go to 'Licence Keys', and update the assigned user's email address to transfer the licence to another person.

Check if auto-renewal is enabled

Note: Screaming Frog licences do NOT auto-renew by default — they simply expire. Auto-renewal is only active if you explicitly opted in at purchase. If you did not opt in, no action is needed; your licence will expire at its end date.

Navigate to the Subscriptions section

Once logged in, go to 'My Account' and click on the 'Subscriptions' section. This is only present if you enabled auto-renewal at purchase.

Cancel auto-renewal

In the 'Subscriptions' section, locate your active subscription and select the option to cancel auto-renewal. Confirm the cancellation when prompted. Your licence will remain active until its current expiry date.

Verify cancellation

Check that auto-renewal no longer shows as active under 'Subscriptions'. You will retain full access to all paid features until the licence expiry date, after which the tool reverts automatically to the free version (500 URL crawl limit).
