The expiration date might not be available immediately after the creation of the Software subscription

There are situations where Microsoft API delays to return the expiration date (about 10 minutes), and in this case, we create the subscription with no expiration date. The workaround for this scenario is to edit and save the subscription after a while, and our system will refresh the expiration date
