I too got the 5 year combo license. Honestly believe that if the commission is hurting that badly for money there just may be multiple increases in price over the next 5 years. Bought it on line, made multiple copies that I placed in license holders that I had laying around and tossed them in my desk, put them on my vests, and a copy in the boat. Saved the license in "my documents" and I'm good to go till the end of 2017.
