Your FMC license is not term-based. You can run it indefinitely using the initial license.

It does generally have an associated support contract. You can renew that to extend your access to TAC support and software update entitlement.

You renew my letting your reseller know you want to renew the contract.

For instance, an FMC VM has a support contract line item like "CON-ECMUS-SFMMCVWK". That support contract SKU has a term (normally 1, 3 or 5 years).

Your reseller can check the Cisco system to see the exact date the term ends and create a sales order to extend it. Once you purchase it, the extension is entered into the system and your contract is "renewed".

That's the most common way it works. Your experience may vary due to differences in how you purchase and renew. In either case, your local reseller should be able to assist you.
