Express Renewal and AutoPay Renewal Service

Would you like to install an SSL certificate on your server and not have to worry about renewals and expirations? If your certificate expires or if your replacement certificate is installed incorrectly, the impact to your business can be huge. With Symantec™ SSL Certificates, you can now automate one of the most time consuming but critical parts of SSL certificate management: the renewal process.

Automated Certificate Renewal
Automate certificate renewals through a combination of Express Renewal and the AutoPay Renewal Service (AutoPay). When you opt-in to these two features, your entire renewal process from enrollment through payment can be completely automated for up to six years*.

With Express Renewal, you won¡¯t need to generate a new CSR and you won¡¯t need to re-install your SSL certificate when it¡¯s time to renew during the covered period. Activate AutoPay and you won¡¯t even have to remember to pay for the renewal ¨C we¡¯ll do it for you!

How Express Renewal Works

• You must submit a minimum 2048-bit CSR to qualify for Express Renewal.
• You select the type of certificate you need and the service period.
• Your certificate is valid for the length of your payment term (1-year, 2-year or 3-year).
• When it¡¯s time to renew your certificate, all you need to do is pay for a new validity period. You won¡¯t need to generate a new CSR and you won¡¯t need to re-install your certificate for up to six years for Secure Site and Secure Site Pro; and for up to two years for Extended Validation Certificates.

How the AutoPay Renewal Service Works

To automate the renewal process even further, activate AutoPay during your initial enrollment. You can also activate AutoPay within your Symantec™ Trust Center account at any time.

• We will automatically renew your certificate(s) for the same validity period that you selected today, at the prices in effect at the time of renewal (plus applicable taxes).
• AutoPay requires that you pay using a credit or debit card stored on file.
• We will charge your credit or debit card and we will notify you before we charge you.  You will not need to do anything to make payment.
• You may cancel at any time through your Trust Center account.
