In order for the license to be enforced it has to be in use. There are obvious exceptions; building the link, link is down for maintenance etc.
For the most part if the link isn't up for a consecutive period of time (and demonstrated as such) then it could be passed on to someone else. Seems to me I remember hearing 6 months was the outside limit for a license to be "held" with out being "in use". I could be completely wrong on this. Check with the people you choose to facilitate your license with to be sure, but I am pretty certain you can't just buy a 18GHz license from point A to point B and sit on it.

How soon in advance is it acceptable to obtain a license for a planned link? (Someone may not want to buy equipment right away to save on cash flow and finance charges, and buy the gear just in time, as customers are ready to install, but may want to have things(licenses) ready and waiting for when you get to that stage of the plan, or to save on costs when licensing mutiple radios at a Single site, but funds may not be in yet for all the link at that site.)
