in Security+
I hold my Sec+ from April 2010, but need to get an updated one. Do I have to pay the yearly CE fees for credits I wont be taking or can I simply sign up for the newer test and be done with it for another while? I saw one option was to pay the CE fee and then take a new test, but wouldn't just taking the newer test be just as good?

I do believe just taking the new test is all you need to do.
When i passed my Sec+ it updated my net+ automatically w/o having to pay the CE fee. So I'm sure passing the new Sec+ would do the same for you.Goals for 2018:
Certs: RHCSA, LFCS: Ubuntu, CNCF CKA, CNCF CKAD | AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, AWS Solutions Architect Pro, AWS Certified Security Specialist, GCP Professional Cloud Architect
Learn: Terraform, Kubernetes, Prometheus & Golang | Improve: Docker, Python Programming
To-do | In Progress | Completed -

Yes, DoubleNNs is correct. If you choose to, you can take and pass the current Security+ exam and it'll renew your Security+. As long as the A+ and Network+ certs aren't expired, it'll renew them too.
Good luck. -

My A+ and Net+ were renewed when I took my Server+ somewhat recently. Thanks!
