- Mar 18, 2019Hi JSRichard,
You should be able to take the product activation code they provide and enter it into your account prior to the existing subscription expires. If they are a good provider, they should be able to help you do this in the store.
As this article shows the product activation code should be valid for 5 years after purchase

I would check this with the store to confirm. But personally, I would always recommend in the last month of the existing subscription purchasing and applying the code, then you can do it all in one go with support without any stress.
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris

Thanks! Yes, this answers my doubt. My first option is, as well, to just purchase it by the end of july or so. My only concern is to not lose this amazing 30% discount jah. But I guess I will take the chances. The store is reliable, but still tedious to work with, is a very big technology store in the country (big but not smart many times). Every time to time there are cool promotions.
Thank you very much.-
