If you have any of the above server platforms, you should place your order for a renewal certificate with a new CSR.

Why do I need to install a different certificate if this is a renewal?

It is not possible for us to extend the life of a certificate that is residing on your server because the expiration date is hard-coded into the certificate itself. Therefore, we must issue a new SSL Certificate to replace the one on your server. When your new certificate is issued, make sure to install all of new certificate files as it is a fully new certificate.
