Does purchasing a Protect Plan automatically lapse my current free trial?

Hi,

Does purchasing a Protect Plan automatically lapse my currenty active free trial? If so, I’ll wait it out until the end of the trial, was just wondering the the new (paid) subscription gets added on to the end of the free trial period.

Thanks!

What did I do wrong, and how do I fix it so subscription is attached to my device and starts when the trial period is over ?
