Explanation
If your SSL certificate is about to expire, you can extend or renew it directly on the NAS.
On your NAS, go to myQNAPcloud > SSL Certificate.
Next to the SSL certificate status, click Extend.
The system will check whether your current SSL certificate can be extended.
If your current SSL certificate can be extended:
The system automatically extends the certificate.
A new SSL certificate is re-issued if required.
After the process completes successfully, the certificate status changes to Active.
If your current SSL certificate cannot be extended:
The system automatically searches for other available SSL certificate licenses under your QNAP ID.
If available SSL certificates are found:
myQNAPcloud displays a list of available SSL certificate licenses.
Select a certificate and click Install.
After successful installation, the certificate status changes to Active.
If no available SSL certificates are found:
You will be guided to purchase a new SSL certificate license.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the purchase.
After purchase, return to myQNAPcloud > SSL Certificate.
The system automatically installs and extends the SSL certificate.
After successful installation, the certificate status changes to Active.
