# Renewal calendar

Track contract dates and notice deadlines alongside your open license findings.

Use **Renewals** to record a vendor contract and its decision window. This connects license review to the date when you can change a commitment.

{% step %}

## Record the agreement

An Admin or Owner opens **Renewals** and adds the vendor, contract details, renewal date, notice period and annual value where available. Use the actual agreement as the source.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Work from the notice deadline

The notice period determines how far ahead you need to act. Check the displayed decision deadline rather than assuming the renewal date is the last day you can reduce or cancel seats.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Review open findings

Use the renewal window on Overview to investigate affected products and accounts. Validate business need and prices, then take any procurement decision through the vendor or reseller.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Saving or editing a renewal in LicenseMeter is a planning action. It does not submit cancellation, notify a vendor or modify the underlying contract. Confirm terms and deadlines with your agreement owner.

The sample calendar contains fictional contracts. Use it to learn the workflow before adding your own dates.

## 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.licensemeter.com/renewals.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.
