Expiration Date Query

General
#1

Hello,

I have a quick question - when using the update expiration date menu option we can choose a date and the expiration date shows as e.g. “Jun 04, 2025 12:00:00 AM”
Am I correct in understanding this as expiring on the change from the 3rd June to 4th June? (so licence expires at end of the 3rd June) or is it when the clock changes from 4th June to 5th June?

Thanks!

Hi @Helen,

Thank you for reaching out!

Currently, when you update the expiration date through the admin portal, the time is automatically set to 12:00:00 AM (start of day UTC) on the selected date. This means the license expires at the beginning of that day, not at the end.

We recognize that this may differ from expected behavior when selecting a date. Our team is working on updating this so that the expiration time is set to the end of the selected day, making the license valid throughout that date.

In the meantime, if you would like to have control over the expiration time too, you can update the license expiration date via our REST API using the following endpoint: https://api.cryptlex.com/v3/licenses/{id}/expires-at

You can specify the expiration date and time in UTC ISO 8601 format. For example:

{
    "expiresAt": "2025-06-04T23:59:59Z"
}

Thank you for your feedback. We will keep you informed here as soon as the changes go live.

Hi @Helen,

I am pleased to share that the expiration time behavior has been updated. When updating a license’s expiration date through the admin portal, the license will now remain valid until the end of the selected date (i.e. end of day), rather than expiring at the beginning of that date.

Thank you for your valuable feedback. If you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact us at support@cryptlex.com.
