Generally speaking, I dislike "lifetime" offers and there is some bad history with those being badly abused
Back when Sirius Satellite Radio started, it offered "lifetime" subscriptions. People eventually learned that Sirius meant the lifetime of the radio as long as it tied to the purchaser's account, not the human being.
Many people got Sirius with their new cars. When they started trading them in three or four years later, they learned that their "lifetime" subscription not only didn't go with them to their new car, but the buyer of their old car also didn't get the old subscription.
Today, it wouldn't be as big a deal because you can stream Sirius ($10/month), or some other radio service over the internet. But this was back before even RealPlayer, and the mass adoption of cell phones.
