perpetual licenses
Unlimited duration authorizations
A perpetual license grants the right to use software indefinitely after a one-time purchase, as opposed to subscription models requiring ongoing payments.
The software remains usable forever, though updates and support typically expire: We bought perpetual licenses before they switched to annual subscriptions.
