Why can’t I change my email address?
Your email address serves as your unique credentials in the system. This is what ties you to the account. If you are the account owner and need to change your email address, the best way to do that is by cancelling your subscription and then reassigning your new TID (email address) as the account owner. Mark your calendar for when your subscription ends and is cancelled, so you can re-purchase a new subscription with your correct email address/TID.What is the difference between Billing Address and Shipping Address?
The Billing Address is the physical address on file with your credit card provider. The Shipping address designates the location where the product is used. Taxes are calculated for your Shipping Address.

Co-terming and Proration
What are co-terming & proration?
Co-terming is a technique in which all of the individual subscriptions of an account are configured to have the same term or renewal date. Proration is a cost adjustment technique that ensures that the purchaser only pays for the remainder of a co-termed new subscription. For example, suppose you previously bought a monthly term product that is due for renewal on 05-01-2019. The current date is 05-13-2019 and you are buying a new monthly subscription product on the same account. The co-termed new product will also renew on 05-13-2020. You will only be charged a prorated amount for only the remainder of the new subscription item's term ( i.e., from 05-01-2018 to 05-13-2018) and you can start using the new product today. On 05-13-2018, you will be charged the regular recurring amount for all your subscriptions, including this new purchased item.
