Yes, You may drive a car on the previously acquired licence until its validity as long as you have a legal status in Saudi. Once you have a new Iqama, you should get your licence updated.

Several people have told me if you drive a hire car on an old license you will not be insured.

How do you go about changing your license to a new Iqama in Riyadh?
