Is there a deadline for Windows? I’ve been using it for six months now. It came free from someone who sold me an SSD. Every time I log in, this warning appears about my license expiring on July 29th. Should I buy another copy and just enter the activation key? Please advise—I’m really confused. Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit shows the copyright notice in its properties, stating © 2013 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. What happens when the license ends? Will I be unable to use my computer?

Standard licenses aren't applicable. MSDN and similar agreements not intended for resale will expire. You'll need to purchase a new license once it's gone, otherwise the system wouldn't make sense. EDIT: In short, if you acquired it from someone else, they shouldn't have sold it to you.

Likely an MSDN identifier, these aren't permanent.

Yes, you can identify if a file or component is from MSDN. Check the documentation or source code for references to Microsoft. When the license expires, access may be restricted or require renewal.
