Sec+ CE Renewal

A different question regarding the renewal of the CE certs. Now before i get taken the wrong way ill explain;

I understand that once enrolled in the CE program, you require 50 credit to recert. this can be done by any authorised higher level cert (CCNA: S for example) thats all well and good, but my question is that say I have CCNA:S and my 3 year time line is coming up for my Sec+ to be recertified, and I am not ready to advance to the CCNP:S, will a recert on CCNA:S also recert my Sec+ CE?

I can only assume that it will, since a recert is the same a earning the cert in the first place.. sort of...

Another point, is that as most now, with CISCO you don't necessarily have to do that same exam to recertify a qualification.. A CCNP will recert the CCNA:S.. in this circumstance, will that path of CISCO recertification - as you are being renewed on all lower CISCO certs, satisfy the requirements of the Sec+ recert, even though the CCNP is not on the authorised list of higher level certs for the Sec+ ?

Hopefully this makes some sense to someone, as its something that i have been thinking of lately as the CompTIA site does not go into that level of detail with renewals.

Cheers for any help!

Everyone is new to the CompTIA CE program (Including CompTIA), before now I didn't know certifications outside of CompTIA would update them.

I just found this: http://www.comptia.org/Libraries/Certification_Documents/CE_Charts.sflb.ashx

CCNP security isn't even listed with Security+
There's no MCITP
Cisco - CCNA Security updates Security+ but not Network+ and A+?

I don't think CompTIA really know's what they are doing regarding what updates what.

I'd say parts of the CE program are still in beta testing. 3+ years down the road when it's time to recertify I think alot of this will become clear.
