A perpetual, transferable licence outlives your account and can move to another company. Deleting a project does not end it unless the terms say it does.

3Why it matters for a book

A licence is permission you give, not ownership you hand over. What changes from tool to tool is how long the permission lasts, whether it can pass to another company, and what the tool may do with a manuscript beyond making your video.
