Greetings,

Our organization has it setup so that between November and Mid April, dues will cover the current year, then from Mid April to November, the price stays the same, but the length of the term effectively becomes two years (the remainder of the current year and the following year).  In our case its due to the primary services we provide occurring in the September through April timeframe, but I could see other organizations having a cut off date with the fixed terms so that it also applied to the following term.

  Basically we can do the two ( or 1 and a half) terms with the # of terms set of '2' for each membership, and the timeframe in the 'Active on' and 'Expires On' settings.  That being said, the 'Active On' and 'Expires On' appear to require a date tied to a year, as opposed to 'every year on 4/1'.  I suppose it'd be possible to create a cron or a scheduled task that would change those each year so it isn't forgotten about to make it as autonomous as possible, but would it instead be possible to make the active on and expires on field can also be set to a month/day and not require (but still allow) a year?
