When your 3/6/12 month subscription is over you still keep and use what you downloaded forever on all your websites!
However you will no longer be able to download new add-on releases, nightly builds and packages and you will not be able to post support requests on the Professional support forums area.
You can become a Professional member and upgrade to Developer just by paying the price difference (no penalty or surcharge is applied as the pro-rated remaining value of your Professional membership is fully accounted for).
