could you refer to this KB: What Happens When the Threat Prevention License Expires? and Documentation? In short, you will not get latest threat / antivirus updates. All security policies using antivirus/anti-spyware/vulnerability profiles will continue to function with old definition which degrades Firewall functionality.

Kind Regards

Pavel

@IT-999,

The benefit that you have is that I'd rather have older definitions than no definitions. Is there a particular reason why you/leadership decided not to renew the threat prevention subscription? In my personal opinion that is one of three subscriptions that I consider to be critical to a successful PAN deployment.
