Can I use an older license on the latest version?

Im asking because I prefer to buy from my favorite resellers, and some of them have a previous year listed in the title such as a "AVG Internet Security 2019". Im not sure whether they mean it will NOT work on any newer year version, or if they just forgot to update the title/page like some websites do with the copyright footer.

I just need a simple yes or no, please. Im not here for another sales pitch because just got in touch with sales support and all I got from them is "it's best to buy directly from AVG" because "buying it from other sources won't get you support from AVG". Why would I care about that? He kept dodging my questions and steering away from answering me directly then repeating that same phrase over and over. I asked if he was a bot, but he said no (which makes it even worse). Hopefully I don't get the same treatment here too.
