A question re subscription renewal

Please could someone let me know if I can renew my subscription for my IS 2011 by purchasing a boxed retail cd of Norton IS 2009 & simply then using the key/code, or do I have to buy the 2011 version (I originally had IS2010 but did a version upgrade some weeks ago to 2011)??

 

Any replies much appreciated (I ask because the 2009 version is obviously cheaper to buy and I am currently out of work so this would help a lot)
