After 1 year. your license will expire, and you will need to renew it.

If you use the certificate, then you can get a full version (and full license) for a reduced price.

The current deal with Kit version fo the Quartus tools is that they come with a 1 year, then it dies license. THis is different then the Full Subscription version fo the tool or the Free WEB version fo the tool.

Free WEB version - limited parts set.

Kit version - Full version with 1 year limit on license - hard stop

Full Version - all parts and a few more features - license for 1 year, then you can extend with NO new features (parts) perpetually or resubscribe (re-up) each year.
