Or just "rent" because that seems pretty close to the reality of the situation. Just have the rental term be long, and have it 'renew' for free. I'd be ok with that.

Rent has a defined time period. Buying a license in this case has an indeterminate time period. Buying a license is still very different from renting or leasing it.

Some rental agreements include automatic renewal unless cancelled by either party.

So, a rental agreement for a defined period (very short, instantaneous even), with automatic renewal.
