Multi-year certificates: Do I need to complete revalidation and reinstall the certificate in the second year?
The specific situation requires case-by-case judgment:
For most multi-year orders, a new certificate will be issued directly in even-numbered years without redoing validation (Rapid requires annual validation). There are also cases where validation is required in even-numbered years, depending on whether the existing validation is still within its validity period.
Newly issued certificates must be reinstalled and deployed every year.
