You will get new bands with the renewal, but you don't have to use them. The old ones will work just fine. Any active band that you have is interchangeable with every other active band. There is actually no data stored on the bands - just an ID number that allows access to your MDE account. You can have multiple bands and/or cards linked to your MDE account. In fact, you have to specifically de-activate a band if you want it to not be usable. They don't go away automatically.
In your case, your old bands should work just fine. The new expiration date of the renewed APs should show up in the MDE account without you having to do anything.
