Yes, you can use it beyond the 2 years. But it is only during the 2 years you can use it for up to 5 developers, whereas the regular MDSN is a subscription per unshared developer. Also regular MSDN does not allow for use of platforms/apps for production purposes, whereas with ISV there is some easing of that constraint for some products for the ISV period. For both regular and ISV MSDN you can continue to use MSDN provided material beyond the subscription period, but there are simply no more updates, and no more access to the MSDN download site for the full array of offerings, past & present, nor the license key codes once the gate drops.
Once in a while I need to light up an additional development machine, and my older MSDN license key codes work just fine. I have MSDN going to back to 1998 with a few years skipped here and there. It has been almost 14 months since my last update, and the sky has yet to fall on me.
