What’s Changing?
Under the new policy:
All subscriptions are valid for 12 months only
Only three renewal types are available:
- Early Renewal
- Normal Renewal
- Reactivation
No other subscription options will exist

All users will fall into one of these three pricing categories
PART II: Renewal Operation Guide

Start Date: Begins from the original expiration date

Condition: Subscription expired, but within 12 months
Start Date: Begins on the renewal date

To avoid extra cost, do not let your subscription lapse for over 12 months
Final Thoughts
This new subscription model makes managing your Kess V3 tool more transparent and predictable. However, it also emphasizes timely renewal:
- Renew early → Save money
- Renew late → Higher cost
- Wait too long → Maximum expense
For professional locksmiths, tuners, and workshops, maintaining an active subscription ensures continuous access to:
- Latest ECU/TCU protocols
- Software updates
- Technical support
If you rely on Alientech KESS3 for daily work, planning your renewal strategy is now more important than ever.
