So I thought I was on a lifetime Tivimate sub but I guess I am annual. Received an email saying Tivimate is increasing from $7.99 to $11.99 a year. I’m looking at my sub in the Google Playstore but don’t see an option to upgrade to lifetime. I did a search here and found an old thread. Does anyone know if this is still the case? I need to cancel my current sub and after it expires I can then buy a lifetime sub? Thanks in advance ![image](https://troypointinsider.com/uploads/default/original/3X/3/7/374a4431fc6aa4eb510234c66c2be25002b9595f.jpeg) ---

From my understanding @SoloWarrior that is the case. You must cancel your sub, use up any time you have left, then renew and purchase a lifetime sub. ---

Thanks @Miki cancelled and set up a calendar reminder for the date it expires ---

I would also suggest using the TiviMate website when making your lifetime purchase as you can easily activate/deactivate devices right from the website itself. > **[TiviMate IPTV Player](https://tivimate.com/)** > > TiviMate IPTV Player ---

If you let your subscription run out before purchasing a life time sub will you lose your files you already have loaded ? ---

Good question! . I’m not using Tivimate right now as my main IPTV service uses it’s own app and not Tivimate. BUT I do have a 2nd service that runs on Tivimate. I have a Calendar reminder on the day it expires to go in and Purchase lifetime. I assume since I’m not changing anything in the app but only changing my subscription that none of my info in the app will change ---

This is correct. From the tivimate site - subscription section. ![1000003150](https://troypointinsider.com/uploads/default/original/3X/a/8/a8f049eaba1da3f1bafbd3f2fb6098d86c0fee68.jpeg) Too bad you can’t just pay the $33.99 lifetime fee from their site, when your account is logged in, and have your subscription upgraded to lifetime. That would be too easy. ---

No need to wait until the subscription completely expires. Just cancel your current subscription, and then purchase a lifetime subscription under the same Google account. That’s how I did it and it worked out just fine. When you cancel your current subscription, It will expire at the original expiration date. Not any earlier. ---

I don’t think that is correct. You cannot have an annual sub and a lifetime sub on the same account at the same time. I tried this. That is why everyone is saying you need to wait until the annual sub expires and then you can purchase the lifetime. But it really is not N issue as when the annual expires I’ll buy the lifetime ---

That’s exactly how I did it. I canceled my annual subscription which would expire within 3 months. I then immediately afterwards purchased a lifetime subscription under the same Google account which was no problem. It worked out for me. That was about 2 years ago. ---

seems to me Tivimate was only $5.00 when I first started using it and has increased in price each year. I too will look into this Lifetime Sub. ---

If one cancelled and turned around and signed up for the yearly, would they lose their setup of favorite channels, etc.? ---

If you don’t have the premium you shouldn’t have a setup where you have a full configured playlist etc as the free setup doesn’t allow for the full spectrum of Tivimate configuration settings. ---

I think that I was talked into getting the premium here because of “all the powers it would unleash”. 😁 ---

Ok. Then if you have a premium sub and are logged into it then you can do a backup for it. Then if you have to uninstall it or do a factory reset, reinstall the exact same Tivimate version, log back into it then go to Settings\>General\>Restore data and you should have any configurations you made restored.
