N360 V21.7.0.11 Renewal Question

- 2 PC's: Win 7x64 Home Premium OEM

- N360 v21.7.0.11  -> "Automatic Download of New Version" option is Off.

My 3-PC Subscription is coming up for renewal soon.  I've bought a Key the past couple of years but haven't found a low-priced Key as easily as in the past this time.  I'm guessing this is due to the new NS version having been available for a while.

I've not previously tried the "View my renewal options" link on the Dashboard.  I tried this and I see a very good renewal price for N360.

My questions are:

- If I renew from the link, does it force a new version of the product?  I want to stay with V21x for now.  The site link does separate N360 from NS for renewal choices so I'm thinking that the answer to my question is that this renewal option will not update my current V21x version with N360.

- Is the remaining subscription time included in my renewal?   I know when using the "Key" renewal path, any remaining subscription license time is removed.  Is this the same with the linked renewal path?
