Unless the rules have changed, I think he is a few weeks short of being 
able to renew.    I think you need to be within 90 days of expiration 
before you can renew.    Based on the data Steve provided, he isn't 
quite within the 90 day window yet.

BTW, I did mine on the FCC site a couple of years ago with no problem.
