Description: Parted Magic is available as a recurring subscription with yearly or quarterly billing. Subscribers receive every update released during their active subscription period. You can cancel anytime from your account dashboard — no hoops to jump through. If you cancel, you keep full access for the remainder of the period you’ve already paid for, and every version you’ve downloaded continues to work indefinitely.

Subscriptions renew automatically and can be canceled anytime from your account dashboard. Canceling stops future billing but does not issue a refund for the current period — you’ll continue to have access for the time you’ve already paid for.
