Plus, if you are over 21 and wasn't the new format, just go to the DMV and say you lost your license and need a new one. They'll give you an updated one in the new format.
In SC, even if you lose it, they still give you the old one until it expires. I guess the monkeys at the DMV here haven't figured out how to switch the format. I have moved several times and lost a couple and each time they give me the same "Under 21" license regardless of which one I request. They say that it's "policy." Tax dollars hard at work...
