This pretty much dissuades people from not paying for hardware warranty and then only buying coverage after something breaks- and somewhat chastises those who do. Effectively 6 months of coverage going forward. If you choose not to buy/activate replacement until January of 2017, your new coverage is back-dated to July 2016 (6 months) and your new expiration would be in June 2017. Effectively you have had no lapse in coverage and your new buy is lasting you 7 months after you activate. So for example (with simplified dates)- if you let your coverage expire December 31 of 2015 and buy a 1 year renewal in May 2016, your coverage is back-dated to January 1 and therefore your new expiration will be December 31 2016. The lapsed coverage penalty is that your new license is retroactive from the activation date until the date or your last expiration or 6 months, whichever is less.
There is a penalty for lapsed coverage, but it is more than fair. So there should be no penalty for renewing early. I believe the way it works is that the new license starts at the end of your existing license (as long as they are the same entitlement).
