When the new system begins.
If your inspection expires before your registration expires, then you must have it inspected within 90 days of new registration and the station will give you proof of inspection for your registration.
If you registration expires before your inspection expires, then you can get the registration and will not need a new inspection until next year.
Only one window sticker with the new system.

I'd suggest you call or visit your motor vehicle department to discuss it with them to see if you can change your annual schedule so it aligns with your travel plans.
