Creating a duplicate certificate in your DigiCert account
All DigiCert Wildcard and Unified Communications (UC) certificates come with an unlimited server license. This means you can use the certificate on as many different servers as you need. In order to increase security and make it easier to install certificates on all your servers, we allow you to create duplicate certificates in your account.
You can create as many duplicate certificates as you need for no cost. You just need to provide us with a new CSR which we will use to create a new certificate. The details in the certificate will be the exact same as the original certificate.
In order to create a duplicate certificate to put on a new server, follow these instructions:
- Create a new CSR/key pair on the server that you wish to get a certificate for. The common name that you enter should be the same common that is was in the original certificate (or one of the SANs in a UC certificate). All of the other information (e.g. the organization, locality, etc.) will be replaced with the information that we validated.
- Login to your DigiCert account.
- Under the "My Certificates" tab you will find a list of your current certificates. Click on the order number of the certificate that you need to get a duplicate for.
- Scroll down and click the Get a Duplicate button.
- In the new window, copy and paste your new CSR and click the Proceed to Step 2 button.
- Review the details and click the Process now button.
- The duplicate certificate will be issued within a few minutes and will show up on the order page. Just hit refresh and download it. Then you can install the certificate to the new server.
