Default Educational Licensing Confusion - Perpetual License

Hello!

A few years ago I purchased a PERPETUAL license of PT12 at an academic discount (I work at an ALP.) I also purchased the yearly upgrade/support package. Now every year when I renew my upgrade/support package I have to confirm that I still work at the ALP and still qualify for the educational pricing. It's not a big deal because I do still work there and I do still qualify, but presumably that can't last for the rest of my life.

So if someday I no longer work at the ALP, what happens to my PERPETUAL license? Is it not, in fact, perpetual? Do I now have to fork over the difference between the educational and full price? I was under the impression that PERPETUAL meant just that - perpetual, ongoing, forever, independent of any employment or student situation. I was also under the impression that the upgrade/support package was a different product from my PT12 license, and therefor not related to my employment. Can someone please clear this up?
