This version introduced the ability to store information about renewals in a file instead of the registry. This has several advantages including easier replication, backups, etc.
By default this is only enable for new clean installs, but you can migrate manually if
you want to. This assumes you already followed the v1.9.5
steps, or your initial install was on that version or higher. If not,
replace HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
with HKEY_CURRENT_USER
and %programdata%
with %appdata%
.
regedit.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\letsencrypt-win-simple\
ConfigurationPath
, which defaults to %programdata%\letsencrypt-win-simple
https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/
matches with the folder httpsacme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org
Renewals
in the matching folderRenewals
to that fileHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\letsencrypt-win-simple\
to make sure the program doesn’t find it anymore.
