Does VTune with a free license require refreshing license?

[HKR]

I'd like to use VTune for a commercial use with VS2019.

I found some posts and VTune has a free license version.

Question 1

- Can I use VTune with a free license for a commercial use? 

Question 2

- Some posts say VTune requires refreshing license every 90days or 1year. Is this still the same as now?
