Hop storage fresheness

Dragging up an old conversation here: does anyone use the Hop Age Calculator in BeerSmith to calculate AA?

I got some Kazbek hops which I understand are a higher AA Saaz with a bit of lemon peel atop the spiciness. Unfortunately, these hops are dated Oct 2016 and I am concerned I need to increase the qty to get the IBU I am looking for. I normally don’t even think about it but they are a bit older than I normally use. I have no idea how they’ve been stored. I immediately placed them in my growing collection stored in the freezer.

I did that in promash, not much difference for 1 year old hops. For ones 3.5 years old I would do it.
