1 year from ticketing and any routing can be used, need not involve AAA or BBB or CCC

To reuse the miles without needing to do a redeposit and pay a fee, is it correct that I must fly the one-way within 1 year of the original ticket and I cannot just rebook the ticket within 1 year for a later date past 1 year? In either case, which date is used the date of the original outbound flight or the date of the cancellation?

(As far as I understood I must complete the new flight within 1 year of the original flight, but I'm looking to be 100% sure that is true and there is no work-around.)

Thanks for your help.
You must change within the one year, travel can be outside of the year. A new ticket will be issued.
The date is based on the day the tickets were purchased / ticketed.
