Apologies for the strange silence on this one - I should have responded sooner.
Auto-renew can only be set:
- by the sponsoring RSP from their admin interface
- through the sponsoring RSP's manage interface, only if they specifically
enable this feature
Auto renew can not be set through "non-sponsoring" RSPs' manage interfaces.
