License question ???????????????????????????

In 2017 I bought a senior lifetime license. The lake Erie permit was a one time purchase thing,the trout permit must be purchased every year or bought in multiple years. So here's my question do you have to get a new print out license every year? I went to the Beaver County Courthouse and spent 45 minutes and got nothing resolved. I did buy the 2018 trout stamp. Do I need a senior lifetime license that says 2018 ? Or is my 2017 SL good to go? Thanks the idiots there couldn't figure it out,really they get paid! I tried calling all the PFC numbers but there off today and wouldn't be back till January 2 and I'll be on the ice somewhere and don't feel like getting busted. Thanks if you can help.

    I think it needs re-printed every year unless you do a multi-year one. I recall a older gentleman asking the office @ walnut the same question.

    Your license will have a bold SL on it, with senior lifetime under the SL. The trout stamp can be bought for 1 year, 5 years, and I think now they're doin' a 10 year stamp. The Erie stamp must be bought each year.

    Never try to argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    PArussian, where I screwed up was when I initially bought the senior lifetime license. I turned 65 in November of '15, but I didn't buy my license 'til after the first of the year in '16. Had I bought the '16 license in the year I turned 65, I would have gotten the lifetime Erie stamp. The problem was that the PFBC changed the law, so I ended up with a one year Erie stamp, 5 year trout, and lifetime angler. Now I'm looking at my receipt from Allegheny Angler which I've had folded up between the two licenses.
     
    I can't read the state code, but 5 year trout stamp $43.00
    Code 8387 one year Erie permit $10.00
    Code 8364  Senior Lifetime $53.30
    Total: $106.30

    I got my senior lifetime license in 2016 which included a lifetime Erie stamp. Don't remember if I purchased in 2015 or not.  All I buy now is the annual trout stamp and print it out.   I have never reprinted my SL license.  I also buy the $5 button every year.

    I bought my lifetime senior license for 2016.   I do not remember if I purchased in December 2015 or not but it did come with a lifetime Erie permit.
