Platform-Specific Installation Guides

For detailed instructions for specific platforms, see:

Generic Installation Instructions

If you are not using one of the platforms listed above, you can obtain your certificate in several generic formats from the Other section of the installation wizard.

Click the Other section

Downloading the SSL Certificate

The certificate is available to download from the “Other” section in several formats, including a standard .crt file with the primary certificate and .pem files for the intermediate certificates (both independently bundled and bundled with the primary certificate).

Downloading the Private Key

The private key of your certificate is available to download from this section and from the main certificate page. If you provided your own CSR or deleted the private key from our servers, you will no longer be able to download it, and some features of the installation wizard will not work.
