Renew SSL Certificate

Typically you renew a certificate when it has expired or will expire soon.
To renew a certificate, do not create a new configuration. You must work with the existing published configuration with the expired or soon-to-expire certificate.

Prerequisites

Before you renew an certificate:
  • You must have a replacement certificate and private key file.
  • The certificate files must be in a separate PEM or CRT file AND private key file or “.KEY” format file. If your file is in another combined format, please convert it to the separate certificate and private key files before uploading. If you experience any issues, contact support or your Account representative.
Also, suggests that you use private browsing mode in your browser.
