Your SSL CERT will make your server domain compliant with the new standards of security adopted by web browsers like Google and Firefox. Additionally, the previous 3-year and 2-year SSL certs validity period of certificates using a single CSR are no longer available as part of the new standards. This means that if you have purchased a multi-year term SSL Cert, it will need to be re-issued every year. To reissue the certificate, please send support@wiscnet.net a new CSR after generating a CSR on your web server and testing it at https://www.digicert.com/ssltools/view-csr/.
