I'm not exactly sure what happened but the process you outlined is correct. The only thing I can think of perhaps the time between cancelling and renewing was somehow a factor - but its common for customers to cancel then immediately sign up again for another eval using the same URL so I'm leaning towards this being an anomoly.
