Revocation is a permanent action and cannot be reversed. This results in the instant and permanent cancellation of your SSL certificate. If you are moving your SSL certificate to a new server, if your server has crashed, or if you have lost your private key, you will want to re-key your SSL certificate NOT revoke it. For more information, see Re-key an SSL Certificate.
NOTE: Once an SSL certificate is revoked, you will be unable to rekey it, renew it, or reissue it. It is permanently deleted. If you revoke your certificate within the first 30 days, contact Customer Service. You may be eligible for a refund.
