But definitely not in all cases.

I would disagree somewhat.

An application for renewal of a license means that the license is not
expired as long as it is sent in on time.

Assuming that there is no reason for not granting a renewed license, it
will be granted, I hope I'm correct.

If you send your IRS forms in by April 15th, it is considered sending
them in on time, even though the IRS has not received them. Send it in
on April 16th, and you could have a problem. It is late.

Seems a pretty simple thing to me. Send in your renewal by the expiry
date of your license, and your license continues.

Send it in the day after the license expires, and the license remains
expired until they re-issue it.
