Not every situation requires submitting a revocation. Instead, you can use SSL.com’s SSL Manager Tool (available to Windows users) to streamline the re-keying process, which will require generating a new CSR (using the same information on your original request). You can also re-key using the SSL.com web portal or via API. Re-keying your certificate on a regular basis is generally a good security practice. Think of it in the same light as updating a password on your computer, it’s another way to stay ahead of the bad guys.
