A NYS driver's license is good for 8 years. There is an issue date and an expiration date shown on the front. If you are under 21, when you turn 21 you will get a new license without the "under 21" code on it (for ID purposes).
Also, you can renew your license up to a year before it expires, or up to 2 years (I think) AFTER it expires. After that, you have to take the test again.

Go to the New York's Drivers License CenterConsult your out of state Driver's License/ Learner's permitIf it valid only in the state that issued the permit, you cannot use it in New York.
A learner's permit is valid for 18 months.
NO
As long as you have a valid drivers license and not a learners permit yes.
It is if you are a Pennsylvania resident.
I would imagine so. In order to get a new one, you have to turn in the old one or report it lost or stolen. The license is the property of the state.Technically, you can have more than one driver's license. If you apply for an International Driver's License, it works in the USA and other countries. You do not need to turn in your state license when you get the International Driver's License.Added: (in the US) If you are a US citizen You may possess only one state-issued drivers license, and it must be issued by the state in which you have your legal residence.In reference to the first answer: In the US, the 'international drivers license' referred toabove, does NOT take the place of a valid US drivers license, it is valid only when presented in foreigncountries.
Not if you are a New York resident, only if you are only visiting.
None.
yes
If you have become a New York resident then yes you not only can but you must. There will be the usual long wait at the DMV, but your Florida license (if valid) will be exchanged for a temporary New York document and presto a new document will come to your New York residence in about two weeks.
New York can revoke your driving priveleges in their state. Where the license is from does not matter.
Individuals in certain categories can apply for driver's license without having SSN, such as those with student visas, etc. Since you are on H-4, you can obtain driver's license. Bring your passport, copy and original of your spouse's passport (with H1-B) to DMV. You will have to pass written exam and driving test like everybody. The license will be a issued up to the term of H1-B. The other choice is in case you have valid driver's license from your home country, you can add your name as a driver in the insurance of that vehicle. You can drive with foreign driver's license as long as you have insurance. Look in DMV manual page 3.
