Nope:

"When a subscription expires, do the licenses terminate or are they
still valid?

MSDN Subscriptions have a perpetual license, so subscribers can still
use the products received with their MSDN Subscription after their
subscription has expired."

Pretty cool, eh?

I think I'm too old to credibly use the word "cool," but it's certainly
a good thing. Thanks for clearing that up.

Cool knows no age. I'm 53, I've got friends in their 20s. They think I'm
pretty cool.

You're welcome, too.

If you read though the FAQ though, you will note that software obtained
via MSDN subscriptons are limited by the EULAs for development and
testing uses only, and cannot be used for production, business, or
personal purposes. Kind of a round robin, so maybe not so cool after all
as far as the OP is concerned.

Nope works just fine for him hence the reasoning that he should have
checked the agreement

From his message
"I use the 2 XP Pro systems for development."
