    You should have a activation key that your AV gave you when you purchased the subscription or bought the software. Contact the AV company & explain what you plan to do & that you have 6 months remaining. They will tell you if there is anything special you have to do to re-activate it on the new install. Some AV companies have this procedure listed in the FAQ's on their website.
