Question regarding the long-term shutdown of a Azure Wowza Streaming Engine VM

Hi,
This is the product information we are currently using.

publisher wowza
offer wowzastreamingengine
plan linux-paid-4-8

Usage Environment:
We are currently using Wowza Streaming Engine purchased from Azure Marketplace.
The usage is very minimal — we only use it a few days per year.

Plan:
We are planning to keep the VM in a deallocated state for 1 to 2 years.
In this state, the VM is completely shut down and no compute charges are incurred in Azure.

When we restart the VM after this long deallocation period Will the Wowza license still be valid?
Will the license be properly activated and function as expected?
