Er. wat.
Halo 4 takes place maybe a year or two after Halo 3 and Halo 3 was only 1 year after Halo CE.
The original Halo was set place in 2552 and Cortana was "created" just before halo CE[months if not weeks].

Fixed that for you. And AI don't "die" after 7 years, but rather become self-aware and divulge into rampancy.

Cortana was created well be fore the events of Combat Evolved. By the end of Halo 3, Cortana is seven years old and already diverging into rampancy with plenty of help from both the Forerunners and the Gravemind. Halo 4 is said to take place five years after Halo 3. Simply basing my observation on other reports of seven-year-old AI within the Halo canon, they are often terminated by that time by ONI or they accidently kill themsevles while trying to keep themselves out of rampancy. Smart-AI, at least.

Still, twelve years is still a long life for an AI. So, we are either going to deal with a rampant bitch this trilogy or she's found a way to tamper with the Dawn's FTL drive and shunt most of her memory into 11-dimension slipstream space to avoid said rampancy.

343i is going to turn Cortana into a hot mess.

Smart-AI, at least.Cortana has also had contact with Forerunner technology, We know they can make AI last more than 7 years

Cortana was created for the spartans project to hijack a covenant ship and to meld with the MJOLNIR armor for technical assistance.
That was in 2552, Halo 3 finished in 2553, Halo 4 takes place maybe 3-5 years after Halo 3?
So let's add the maths on worst case scenario, 1+ 5=6.

Halo 4 takes place in 2557, almost five years after Halo 3 (four years, seven months, to be more precise). Cortana was created on November 7th 2549, making her less than 8 years old during the time of Halo 4, which all fits in with her falling into rampancy throughout Halo 4.

November 7, 2549

Cortana is almost 12 years old. There is still the theory that Cortana has achieved metastability, or has a chance to achieve it. Mendicant Bias being he only other AI doing so.

Cortana had been in training with the Chief for years before the events of Halo 1.
