James, If you buy the MSDN Professional subscription, you have a license to use the included products for development and testing purposes as long as you want, without having to subscribe again (unless you want the monthly shipments of updates to continue past the first year).
You also get a license to use Office for business purposes (beyond just development and testing) and that is good beyond the 1 year subscription. There are some versions of Microsoft subscriptions where the license IS LIMITED to just the 1 year subscription (notably the Action Pack subscription for MS Partners, which does NOT include VFP, etc), but the "normal" MSDN subscriptions have a license that extends beyond the subscription term (unless they changed something when I wasn't looking).
