Question about using a license key in the future

Hello,

 

I have 2 quick questions:

 

If I was to buy a NIS 2010 Retail Box version at a retail store, could I use the key that comes with it to later activate NIS 2011 once it comes out of beta and have a full year of service under NIS 2011?

 

If the above situation would work, then would I just download the 2011 version free of charge from the Norton website?

 

Thanks,
