Scenario
Activating a free trial for an annual subscription plan and attempting to use premium tools.
Observed behavior
The application fails to recognize the active trial, keeping paid features locked and potentially displaying prompts to upgrade.
Before you start

Make sure you have a stable internet connection so the software can sync your latest subscription status, and verify that you are signing in with the exact email address or third-party account used to start the trial.

Solution 1Recommended

Re-sign Into Your WPS Account

Logging out and logging back in forces the application to refresh your profile and synchronize your active subscription data from the server.

Often, subscription statuses fail to update immediately if the app was left open during the trial activation. A quick re-authentication usually resolves this conflict.

1
Open the Account Menu

Launch WPS Office and click on your profile picture or the 'Sign In' button located in the top right corner of the home screen.

2
Sign Out

Click 'Sign Out' at the bottom of the account panel to clear the current session data.

3
Sign Back In

Click 'Sign In' again and carefully select the exact login method (Google, Apple, Email, etc.) you used when subscribing to the free trial.

Account Verification: Once logged in, a 'Premium' or 'Pro' crown badge should appear next to your username, indicating the trial is active.
