Traditional SSL Certificate History

The Traditional SSL Certificate History page sits in the "Your Account" menu on our website. It lists every traditional SSL Certificate license in your ordering account, with its dates and current status, so you can see at a glance what you hold and where each one stands.

This page explains what the Traditional SSL Certificate History page shows, what each part of it does, and how it connects to the tracking system where your SSL Certificates are actually managed.

What the Page Shows

Each entry represents one traditional SSL Certificate license. The product is named, along with the Certificate Authority (CA) that issues it, the order date, and the license start and end dates.

Alongside those dates you see the license duration and how much of the license period remains. Each entry also shows its Certificate Authority (CA) Reference, which is the identifier used to locate the license in the tracking system, and a Trustico® order reference that links back to the original order.

Every license carries a status, and you can filter and sort the list by it, so a large account stays easy to work through.

What Each Status Means

When a license request is submitted for processing, the status reflects what we have received back about it. Awaiting Data means the result is not known yet, because the information has not finished syncing from the Certificate Authority (CA) or our own systems. This updates on its own once the license has been validated and completed.

Valid means we have received data confirming that the SSL Certificate license was created correctly.

The remaining statuses describe where an active license stands over time. Expiring means it is getting close to its end date, and Expired means that date has passed. Abandoned means it has been expired for more than 30 days and is no longer of any use.

Inactive means the license has been deliberately turned off, which only happens now and then and for a range of reasons.

Using the Renew Option

When a license is close to expiring, a Renew option appears on its entry. Selecting it opens the product ordering page with some of the available information already filled in, which makes placing the new order quicker to complete.

A new order is still a new order. You generally provide your Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and choose your validation method as part of it, because those details belong to the new SSL Certificate rather than the one that is expiring. Learn About Ordering a New License 🔗

Reaching Your Orders and Products

Two parts of each entry are links. The Trustico® order reference opens the order summary for that order, where you can review it and download its invoice.

The product name opens the product ordering page with the available information filled in, in the same way as the Renew option. This gives you a quick route back to order again when you need to.

Additional Domains

Where an order secured more than one name, the additional domains are shown on its entry. These are the names that were purchased when the order was first submitted.

Any names added to the SSL Certificate later are not listed here. You view the current set of names in the tracking system, which always reflects the latest SSL Certificate issued from the license. Explore Our Tracking System 🔗

Downloading and Tracking

From each entry you can generate a link into the tracking system, which is where a traditional SSL Certificate is validated, reissued, and downloaded throughout the license period.

For convenience, you can also generate a download link for the most recent SSL Certificate issued from the license, so the latest one is available directly from this page.

Validity dates appear in two places, for different reasons. The license dates are shown here, while the validity dates of the SSL Certificates themselves are held in the tracking system.

We recommend confirming the dates on the server where the SSL Certificate is installed, because that is the hands-on approach the regulation changes are intended to encourage. Learn About Reissuing Your SSL Certificate 🔗

Where Management Actually Happens

The Traditional SSL Certificate History page is a record and a set of shortcuts. It shows you what you hold and links you to the right place, but the management of a traditional SSL Certificate takes place in the tracking system rather than here.

The ordering account and the tracking system are deliberately kept separate, which is explained in more detail on our ordering and management page. Learn About Ordering and Management 🔗

If you also hold Certificate as a Service (CaaS) licenses, those are listed separately, because they are managed through your own Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) client rather than the tracking system. Learn About Certificate as a Service (CaaS) History 🔗
