How to Renew an Organizational (OV) SSL/TLS in GCC

​​Introduction

This article provides step-by-step instructions for renewing an Organizational (OV) SSL/TLS in GlobalSign Certificate Center (GCC). If this is not the solution you are looking for, please search for your solution in the search bar above.

IMPORTANT:

• Starting August 31, 2020, GlobalSign will no longer be issuing SSL/TLS Certificates with a validity period greater than 13 months (397 Days). Check this support article for your reference, 397 Day Maximum TLS Certificate Validity.
• Effective August 31, 2020 when you order a 1 year TLS/SSL Certificate, GlobalSign will automatically provide customers with the maximum validity of 397 days. Essentially, we are providing customers with a 1 year TLS/SSL Certificate plus 30 days bonus automatically. This applies to new and renewal orders, to provide maximum validity for our customers' benefit.
• For "Transfers from a Competitor": We will be removing the "transfer" button from the ordering process since we can no longer provide roll over time.
• For early renewals: Given we can only provide a maximum of 397 days, we recommend renewing within 30 days of expiration to avoid losing any "roll over time." We will continue to allow customers to renew up to 90 days earlier; however, you will only receive a 397 day Certificate. We will also change, renewal email notifications to start at 30 days prior to expiration (instead of 90 days prior to expiration).
