They don't quit working but you no longer have a license for them. So

I don't know. I know that the license "expires" after 1 year, but it
appears that these are just real copies of these various things. I
doubt they quit working.

John:
Thanks for the rundown. I've being trying to decide between that and
the partner program. This one looks god. Except what's that about a
one-year license. Does your copy of Office 2003 crap out after one
year?
