WM Keeper Light personal certificates must be renewed once in two years.
WM Keeper Light will notify you about the necessity to renew your certificate with a message on the “Purses” page approximately a month before the current certificate expires.
If you fail to renew your certificate before the current certificate expires, then you must contact technical support.
The procedure for renewing your certificate is the same as for obtaining a certificate when registering with WM Keeper Light. Let’s follow this procedure step-by-step using the Firefox browser as an example.
Login to your WM Keeper Light and go to the “Purses” page. In the notification about certificate renewal, find the link www.wmcert.com and click on it.
In the window that opens enter your e-mail address. This can be the e-mail you specified when registering with WM Keeper Light or any other e-mail address. Your new certificate will be the certificate for the specified e-mail address and you will be able to sign your messages with it.
Then click the “Prolong Registration” button.
If the opened page is the same as the one shown below, it means that your certificate has been generated and you must install it to your browser’s storage. To do so, click the “Install this certificate” link.
If the certificate is installed, the system will display the following message:
You can also save the certificate t oa local disk by right-clicking the specified link and selecting the “Save as…” menu option.
Then close the message and click the “Launch” button and confirm that you want to install the certificate.
Remove the old certificate from storage. To do so, go to the browser settings: menuitem “Tools→ Options”, section “Advanced”, switch to the “Encryption” tab, click the “View Certificates” button, select the old certificate and click the “Delete” button.
Close the Options window and click the “Launch” button.
Restart your browser and log into WM Keeper Light – light.wmtransfer.com
If the certificate generated by the server has not been installed to the browser’s storage, you can complete installation manually – the certificate, registered and signed on the server (file with the .cer extension), can be sent to your e-mail address. For some browsers (Internet Explorer, Opera) it is enough just to import the certificate received by e-mail to storage. On Firefox, the installation procedure is more complex.
Right after you renew the certificate, create a backup copy on a removable disk. To do so, in Firefox open the certificate manager: menu item “Tools-Options”, “Advanced” section, switch to the “Encryption” tab, click the “View Certificates” button, select the certificate on the “Your certificates” tab and click “Save copy…” and select where you want to save it and set the password.
If you have failed to renew your certificate due to whatever reason before it expired, and you need access to your WMID, then you need to send from your e-mail (the one you specified during registration) the number of your WMID and certificate file with private key in the format <file name>.PFX (*.P12) with the password to the file to wmlight@wmtransfer.com.
Within five working days we will send you the link for restoring the certificate and password.
If you send the message from another e-mail address (not the one you specified during the registration), then you must specify the reasons for changing your e-mail and specify the password you entered when registering on the system.
If you have already renewed the certificate, but you have lost the certificate, then you must follow the procedure for restoring the certificate.
