How to Save Netflix Downloads on PC or Phone Forever

1. What Does It Mean When Netflix Says Expired?

There are two meanings when Netflix says "Expired". The first one is related to the expiration time of downloaded videos. Each Netflix downloaded video has a set expiration time, typically ranging from 48 hours to 7 days. You can watch a download as many times as you'd like before it expires. Once expired, you have the option to delete the downloads and re-download the video to watch it again.

The second meaning refers to the end of the licensing agreement between Netflix and the content provider. When the licensing agreement expires, Netflix no longer has the rights to stream that particular title, you cannot watch them either. This can occur for various reasons, such as the content provider choosing not to renew the agreement or Netflix deciding not to continue licensing the content.
