<p data-path-to-node="1">If your HP services have expired or your payment method has lapsed, "renewing" your account usually involves updating your billing details or re-enrolling in a specific plan. In 2026, HP has streamlined this through the <strong data-path-to-node="1" data-index-in-node="220">HP App</strong> (formerly HP Smart) and the centralized HP account portal.</p>

<p data-path-to-node="16"><strong data-path-to-node="16" data-index-in-node="0">Q: Can I renew my account with a different email?</strong></p>
<p data-path-to-node="16"><strong data-path-to-node="16" data-index-in-node="50">A:</strong> It is not recommended. Your printer&rsquo;s serial number is linked to your specific HP ID. Creating a new account will cause "Printer already registered" errors. Instead, use the "Change Email" option in your current account settings.</p>
<p data-path-to-node="17"><strong data-path-to-node="17" data-index-in-node="0">Q: Why is my printer still saying "Subscription Expired" after I paid?</strong></p>
<p data-path-to-node="17"><strong data-path-to-node="17" data-index-in-node="71">A:</strong> Your printer needs to "sync" with the HP cloud. Ensure it is connected to Wi-Fi. You can force a sync by turning the printer off and on, or by selecting "Check Subscription Status" in the printer's hidden web tools (EWS).</p>
<p data-path-to-node="18"><strong data-path-to-node="18" data-index-in-node="0">Q: What if I want to renew but change my page plan?</strong></p>
<p data-path-to-node="18"><strong data-path-to-node="18" data-index-in-node="52">A:</strong> You can change your page tier at any time. Upgrades usually happen <strong data-path-to-node="18" data-index-in-node="122">immediately</strong>, while downgrades take effect at the <strong data-path-to-node="18" data-index-in-node="171">start of your next billing cycle</strong>.</p>
