290: Term of being licensed

You could also call this:

“A licence stays valid until it's cancelled or suspended.”

Your licence stays valid until it is cancelled or suspended. This means that once you get a licence, you can keep using it unless someone takes it away or stops you from using it for a while. You don’t need to worry about your licence expiring on its own.
