I'm starting to use s2 member now but my site already have some paid members, so I want to manually set the plan for each user (1, 3 or 6 months) to s2 member demote it automatically when it expires, how to do this?

Hi Binho. s2Member relies on notifications through the PayPal IPN service. This is how it knows when to demote Members to Free Subscribers; because Members are tied to existing PayPal Subscriptions.
If you need to demote Members on a schedule that you define manually, you'll have to write a PHP script that runs on a cron job. The script would need to go into your database, and look for Members without a PayPal Subscr. ID, and check their registration date, in order to make a decision.
In a future version of s2Member, we'll try to address this ( make it easier ). If you would like to see this feature added sooner rather than later, please consider making a donation. If we receive a donation towards this feature request, we'll see that it makes it into the next release of s2Member.
