As per the Wordfast license agreement, Wordfast licenses are valid for three years. When your license is about to expire or after it expires, you can renew it, in order to continue using Wordfast Classic or Wordfast Pro in full mode. The cost of a license renewal is 50% off the price for a new license[1].

The steps to renew

To renew your Wordfast license, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your user account at www.wordfast.net with your user ID (email address) and password.
  2. If there’s more than one license in the list, select a valid license by clicking on the circle in the lefthand column. This is the license that will be renewed.[2]
