Forever
Artlist:

Content licensed before November 2020 falls under different terms - those older licenses covered all use cases under a single plan. Current plans are more restrictive.

License does not survive cancellation for most plans - you must maintain an active subscription to keep using downloaded content.

PremiumBeat:

PremiumBeat is owned by Shutterstock. Licenses purchased through Shutterstock subscription plans may have different terms than direct PremiumBeat purchases.

Each license covers a single production or project. Using the same track in a separate project requires purchasing an additional license.
