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. Log in to your user account at www.wordfast.net with your login email and password.
  2. Click License/Relicense/Renew button. If you don’t see the button right after login, go to Support > My account menu at the top of the web page.
  3. 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]

    Where to click to renew

  4. The page will refresh and you will see a renew button appear in the Days left column.

  7. Click on the URL at the bottom of the screen to pay for your renewal via ShareIt!
