Reckon Accounts 2016 Software Expiry

Having typed several Emails to the Reckon headquarters here in Sydney and not being able to receive a meaningful response, I am directing my question to this forum. I purchased my current Reckon Accounts 2016 software package almost 10 years ago after more of a decade of renewal subscriptions. I was under the understanding that the program would run indefinitely. However, I discovered in the Licence Information section that the program is valid until 01/10/2029. Although still a number of years away, I am wondering if this date has a significance or if it was just added randomly. In short, will the program run after this date? Thank you.

P.S.: How good would it be if Reckon Australia would offer a similar product for Mac users and without the need for Parallels and renewable subscriptions?

    Curious, this isn't anything new, it's always been there.

    No software will run forever but you just need to reactivate it if or when that date comes around and you're still using it.

    A perpetual license version is a software license that grants a customer a one-time payment for the indefinite right to use a specific version of the software.
