60 days for keyless licensing does not set an expiration date. It sets a date when a message is generated every 4 hours and mailed to the root user. Other than the irritation from that, the product continues to work as it did prior to the 60 day flag.
As to why vxlicrep reports PERMANENT you'd be better of asking the VxVM product manager.
