General Question regarding Old Licenses

From what I understand, once a license expires, you can continue to use the installed product but will not be able to download and install any updates. Let say after a few years, you need to move the associated compiler (whose license has now expired) to a new computer.  Can you use the original license (now expired) to install the original compiler (available during the time the original license was active) on a new computer?

The answer is Yes for all your questions regarding licensing. However, if you want to install a rather old compiler version on a new OS that is not supported nor tested by the old version you may run into installation or compatibility problems.
