Upgrade certificates
CertCentral allows you to upgrade your product when renewing your order. For example, upgrading a Basic OV certificate to a Secure Site SSL certificate provides priority validation and faster certificate issuance.
The upgrade option appears during the renewal process when an administrator enables it in Preferences. Enable it when an upgrade is planned, then disable it when the upgrade is complete.
To enable or disable the upgrade option(Settings > Preferences > Advanced Settings > Upgrade products on renewal), see Configure advanced account preferences.
