I just dont know because one says Renewal and one says Subscription.

Also, I need to know fast because I am going to the states tomorrow and I dont know if I should buy it here in Canada or buy it in the States.

Thanks alot,

Yes, they're the same..

 

[Desert Fox]

I'd say so.

Okay, thanks guys, I didnt know if one was just for renewal or what. Thanks alot

They are not the same (and you asked that in the chatbox)

One of them is for a person who never has signed up before - you pay full price.
The other one is for someone who already has signed up and paid last year, and your reward for being a customer is paying only the renewal price.


Its like, paying for your antivirus subscription for one more year for $30 versus $50 for it brand new.

Or like buying the upgrade edition of windows versus the full edition.

This subscription card allows you to renew your subscription at your pace with or without a credit card.


That came from the other one, and I read the images of the cards, say the exact same thing, so I dont know..

 

[GreenMonkey]

Of COURSE you can renew with both. RENEWING is the cheap part.

But only one should let you create an account for the first time. One is a subscription and the other is a renewal. But they can both be used as a renewal just like the full edition of windows can be used to upgrade.

If you are renewling then buy the cheaper one. If you have neevr in your life had a live account then i would buy the non renewal one.

Okay, thank you Monkey. You have been alot of help.

 

[GreenMonkey]

So which were you looking to do anyhow?

 

[RompTheChomp -TR-]

First time buyer.

 

[GreenMonkey]

Well there is a very small chance that you could but i very highly doubt that you could use the upgrade version to create a new account.

If you buy the cheaper one and cant, will it them have been worth the extra ten bucks?/ plus i'm nearly posative that i'm right since every other software works that way.

 

[RompTheChomp -TR-]

Alright, I will buy the more expensive one .
