# What does the "Extension Warning" window mean when opening my admin?

If you have an extension in the shop for which you do not have a valid licence, a corresponding message appears when you open the administration. At least one licence of the extensions you are using has expired.

Below the warning you will see the name of the affected extension. Shopware makes no difference whether the extension has the status "activated", "deactivated" or "uninstalled" in the extension manager.&#x20;

**Unlicensed plugins must be completely deleted and may not appear in the extension manager of your shop!**&#x20;

You can do this by using the link **"Delete extension permanetly"**. Alternatively you can purchase a licence for the respective extension. Click on the button **"Buy extension"** to go to the respective page in the Community Store.
