it was supposed to expire in June, wasn't it?

Out of interest, does the 'M3' variant effectively extend the life of the Bi-axial especially with respect to existing keys?

No it does not, but replacement plugs are available to retrofit existing "original product" or "biaxial" locks to upgrade to Medeco 3 at a fraction of the cost of new cylinders.
