So... we'll see what happens in 4 days. Perhaps the license I have behaves differently since it was a promo license. I'll report back what I learn. Thanks again everyone!!!
If you've bought IDM, then it'll work for lifetime, but you won't be eligible for free updates/upgrades after 1 year. Without updates and upgrades you can continue to use it. On contrary, if it's a license which you won at a giveaway, then you can neither be entitled for free updates/upgrades nor you can use it after 1 year.
