Why does my desktop software say my subscription expired when it hasn't?
Random pop-up dialogs erroneously claim active subscriptions have expired despite accounts being fully paid. This causes unnecessary confusion for users, forcing them to constantly check their account status or simply ignore warnings that appear out of nowhere.
