Yeah. The trouble here is that the signing authorities cannot generate a 2048 
bit certificate from a 1024 bit key. And if you remove your old 1024 bit key 
and create a new 2048 bit key, then it is no longer a renewal, but a new 
issue. This can cost extra, but that may depend on how your signing authority 
handles it. Considering what the network solutions certs cost, they sure could 
give you some leeway there.
