When your license for the plugin expires or becomes invalid for any reason, your maps will undergo certain changes. Here's a breakdown of what to expect:
1. Auto Reverted to Free Version
The plugin will automatically revert to the free version, and the Pro features will cease to function.
2. Retention of Existing Data
Your maps will still display, retaining existing data such as text labels, lines, regions with different colors, etc., even after the license expires.
However, editing the map after the license expiration will result in the loss of Pro feature-related data, as the plugin will only save data related to free features.
3. Pro Features That Stop Working
Several Pro features will cease to function, including:
Click actions (except for default actions like opening URLs).
Vector icons will not render.
Heatmaps and overlay maps won’t render.
4. Partial Functionality Until Editing
Until you edit your maps, some data will still render, such as different colors for regions and markers.
However, editing the map will cause this functionality to be lost.
5. How to Avoid Loss of Functionality
Opt for a ‘Lifetime’ license with a one-time payment, avoiding subscription tie-ins and the risk of losing data or important map features.
Before your subscription expires or if you decide to cancel it, consider exporting each map to retain a copy of your data for potential future use.
By understanding these implications, you can make informed decisions regarding your licensing and ensure the integrity of your maps and data. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to our support team for assistance.
