Failure to Renew Subscription
In case you fail to renew your subscription within the validity period, your access to Self Service Portal will be restricted, resulting in deprovisioning of the Virtual Machine and termination of access to TallyPrime on AWS. We recommend that you should frequently check your subscription validity date to renew or upgrade or downgrade the plan as needed to maintain continued access to your Virtual Computer.

This will enable you to use the downloaded data in your local computer and continue to maintain your business transactions using TallyPrime.
On failure to renew your subscription, you can either continue to use the backed up data in TallyPrime on your local computer or choose to purchase a plan again to start using TallyPrime on AWS.
