When Colorado licenses renew
DORA does not renew on the anniversary of a license. It fixes one expiry date per type — so renewals arrive in waves, and the calendar is the same for everyone in a profession.
How the cycle works
Each license type carries three things in DORA's own table: a cycle (two years for 484,527 of these licenses, three for some, annual for others), sometimes a year parity — odd or even — and a fixed expiry date such as 31 October.
Put together, that is a calendar. DORA publishes it as 344 rows of codes; this is the same information as a list of months.

⚠️ 35,181 licenses carry one of 7 codes that DORA's own type table does not translate, so no cycle is known for them and they are not counted above.
