# Apryse license expired or AMS expired

World's #1 PDF SDK Library for Web, Mobile, Server, Desktop

If you see an error message like:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Shell" %}
{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```sh
Your AMS expired on [expiration date].  

To upgrade to this version of PDFNet SDK, please renew your AMS subscription.
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

It means that your license is out of date and you cannot use a newer version of the `Apryse SDK`.

It might be the case that your Annual Maintenance Subscription (AMS) is in fact up to date, and an updated AMS key was already sent to your company. You, or one or more of your colleagues (for example, whomever is responsible for license procurement), would have received an email containing the updated AMS key.

In case you cannot find an updated license key, or your AMS has actually expired, please contact <sales@apryse.com> to renew your license.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apryse.com/core/get-started/faq/expired-license.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
