That's another point of having the year appended to the certification.
If you're applying to, say LPIC-2/2005 in 2006 and LPI launches LPIC-2/2007 just before you take the 2nd exam, we should have: - LPIC-2/2005 exams concurring with LPIC-2/2007. I don't see any problem here - LPIC-2/2005 is still a valid certification, despite being a bit outdated. No fundamental problem here. After all, it's 2006 and you've got that you paid and applied for. As discussed before, you could also take a simpler/cheaper exam and get a certification "upgrade" to LPIC-2/2007.

I agree with this comment. I wouldn't want to go over the same exam twice or for things i've already been certified for, if an exam was an update and a lesser cost and be more interested in taking it. For example if you change within the next year, what happens to all the people who are taking LPIC 2 during that year before the change?
