This is a reminder that one or more of your StreamLock SSL certificates is going to expire in 28 days. If you would like to continue using your certificate you will need to renew it online.
Please login to your account at:
[https://www.wowza.com/portal/account](https://www.wowza.com/portal/account)
Select the “StreamLock” tab and then select the “renew” link next to the certificate you would like to renew.
Sincerely,
Wowza Media System LLC

there is no way to sync 2 or more certs AT ANY TIME I WANT TO - because
- you have no cancel option
- only way i see to sync is RENEW once in expire period
- after renew once then can not renew again until end of period
so unless all certs i want to sync are in renew period i see not way to sync them
1. how to sync 2 or more certs AT ANY TIME / whenever i want to

Hi,
I believe that you will get a new certificate after renewing and this will need to replace the current certificate you have which is due to expire.

This is not an answer but more a very related question: What do I do if I am in the 28 days expiration and there is no ‘renew’ button/link in the Streamlock tab? There is a download button, but no renew, and I cannot request a new certificate on the same license. Do I really have to wait until it is invalidated, and request a new one? This would sound like lousy management, and I would get a break in streaming I guess?

I am also not getting the renew displayed Tab to Our Streamlock certificate .
And if we try to apply for a new one there is no License key displayed in the dropdown.
Kindly advice solution
