Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. [https://crt.sh/?q=example.com](https://crt.sh/?q=example.com)), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help. My domain is:archarena.com I ran this command: It produced this output: My web server is (include version):IIS The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):Windows server 2012 My hosting provider, if applicable, is: I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): i don’t know I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):Using IIS The version of my client is (e.g. output of `certbot --version` or `certbot-auto --version` if you’re using Certbot):let’s encrypt ---

> [@Arunkumar](#): > > i would like to know how to check my let’s encrypt software using TLS-SNI-01 validation? Then please answer the questions: Command - output - version. There are different "Letsencrypt - Clients" named Letsencrypt. How did you create your certificate? It's valide 2019-03-06, so it's not critical. Check if the renew the next two times work. If yes, you can ignore the mail. ---

Hi, Sorry for the late reply, we are using http-01 validation, I will share my output file ASAP. Thanks, Arunkumar A ---

> [@Arunkumar](#): > > we are using http-01 validation If you use already http-01 - validation, all should be fine. The problem is the tls-sni-validation, this is deprecated. So people have to switch from tls-sni to http- or dns-validation. ---
