renewal

Extending what expires

Renewal is the act of making something new again or extending its duration.

You renew a subscription, a license, or a lease by paying to continue it: My membership is up for renewal.

Renewal also means restoration or revival: spiritual renewal, urban renewal.

Something renewed gains fresh life or validity after a period of decline or expiration.
