title: Auto-renewing subscription – Differences to non-renewing subscription
body: <p>I have a question regarding in-app payments for iPhone apps. I thought the only difference between auto-renewing subscriptions and non-renewing subscriptions was obviously the self-renewing thing.
  But as I read through the documentation it seems that there are other important differences. This is how I understood it:</p>
  
  <p><b>Auto-renewing:</b></p>
  
  <ul><li>user can disable auto-renewing (so it might behave like a non-renewing subscription)
  <li>is restored after a device reset
  <li>is automatically transfered between different devices on the same iTunes account
  <li>can only be bought once (as long as the subscription is still valid)
  </ul>
  
  <p><b>Non-renewing:</b></p>
  
  <ul><li>the developer must handle license restoring after device resets
  <li>user can buy the subscription more than once at a time
  </ul>
  
  <p>Is this correct?</p>
  
  <p>I seems like auto-renewing subscriptions are way better for my app, even though I don't need the subscription to necessarily renew automatically. </p>
  
  <p>But, as an additional question, when I added a new product in iTunes Connect, I had only the choice between "Consumable", "Non-consumable" and "non-renewing subscription" - but no auto-renewing subscription?!</p>
  
  <p>Best regards</p>
