CertCentral allows you to upgrade your product when renewing your order. For example, if you have a Basic OV certificate, you can upgrade it to a Secure Site SSL certificate to get priority validation and faster certificate issuance.
CertCentral also lets you control when this feature appears in your order renewal process. When ready to upgrade a product, you can enable it to save the hassle of placing a new order and reentering all the information. When you are done, disable it until the next time you want to upgrade a product.
In CertCentral, in the left menu, go to Settings > Preferences.
On the Preferences page, expand Advance Settings.
In the Certificate Requests section, under Upgrade products on renewal, perform one of the following actions:
To disable the feature so it doesn’t appear when renewing orders, deselect Allow users to upgrade products on renewal.
To enable the feature so it appears when renewing orders, select Allow users to upgrade products on renewal.
At the bottom of the page, select Save Settings.
