Renewing a Premium Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificate
To renew an expiring Premium Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificate, you must purchase a certificate-renewal credit; then log in to your SSL account and follow the provided instructions for requesting a certificate renewal.
Depending on your choice of Web server software, you may or may not need to generate a new Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for the renewed certificate. If you are using Linux-based server software, you may use your existing CSR for the certificate renewal (you can also generate and submit a new one, if so desired). If you are running Microsoft IIS 4.x, 5.x, or 6.x on your Web server; it is strongly recommended that you generate and submit a new CSR before attempting to renew your SSL certificate.
Once your renewed SSL certificate has been signed and issued, the Certification Authority (CA) will send you an email message that includes a link for downloading the signed certificate and our intermediate certificates, all of which must be downloaded and installed on your Web site.
