There is no time limit on the program and no need to subscribe/resubscribe as the program is free. Most likely your computer closed abnormally (crashed) and there are left-over elements of the program running, which prevent it starting correctly. If you are using Windows, start TaskManager (Ctrl Shift Esc) and kill any "soffice" processes shown running on TaskManager's Processes tab (Details tab if Win 10). Note these are called "soffice" with an initial "s". When these are deleted OpenOffice should start up correctly. The latest version (4.1.3) can be downloaded free of charge from download.openoffice.org >From this site you will be redirected to a nearby SourceForge server and your >download will start automatically in about five seconds.
