You just have to upgrade,
I do not know which country you're inUSA. Not sure why you think that's relevant. Cisco certification requirements do not vary by country.
but where I am those certificate expires after 3 years and you either upgrade or do one of the course mention aboveYes. There is not debate that the cert expires after 3 years. "Upgrading" is not required. And taking a course has no bearing on recertification.
I hold both license so from where I am.License? What does that have to do with CCNP certification?
