You won't, as long as you hold on to the old Mac.

No. Apple cannot guarantee what third party software will or won't work
under Classic or even OS X, for that matter.

The reverse is also true. Third party vendors can't guarantee that Apple
won't "do something" to the Classic or OS X environment that "breaks" their
software.

It has happened many times in the past.
