Previously, Workstation Pro and Fusion Pro were sold with perpetual licenses and an optional Support and Subscription Add-on. This add-on allowed users to access major version updates for the duration of their subscription term. These terms still apply, and the existing products will continue to be supported for their lifecycle. The perpetual licenses do not expire, but when new major versions of Fusion Pro and Workstation Pro are released, a new license key will be needed. Otherwise, the products will only run in personal use mode. You can find more information about the lifecycle of the products on their website.
