I don't know about Autodesk provided licenses, but XSI licenses granted by
Avid have a life of about 10 years from date of issue. Although they were
called 'permanent', they weren't really permanent. Just long enough to
outlive it's useful life.
I found that out the hard way when I tried to dust off my older XSI 3.x
licenses so I could work on really old data that isn't supported in newer
versions of Softimage. Ironically, my Softimage|3D license from 1999 still
runs - that one really is a permanent license as long as you have the
equipment to run it. The other bit of irony there is Softimage|3D runs fine
on the latest version of Windows, but the license manager (FlexLM) doesn't
run on anything newer than Windows XP. Without the license manager you get
about 120 seconds before the application exits. Work fast.

Is anyone having problems with their 2013 licenses?
We have a few stand alone Maya with SI licenses with subscription and a few
days ago (about a week or maybe more), SI 2013 licenses have stopped
working and they are not longer in my Account License Manager. I've
contacted my reseller but I'm still waiting for their response.
At this rate, eventually we won't be able to use Softimage anymore?
