This is my first time using LetsEncrypt. I have successfully managed to manually create a wildcard cert. and upload to an Azure Key-Vault and link the SSL cert. to an Azure Application Gateway - this all works. certbot certonly --email [dummy.name@xxx.net](mailto:dummy.name@xxx.net) -d \*.dummy\_sub\_domain.abdcdef.abc.uk --agree-tos --manual --force-interactive openssl pkcs12 -inkey privkey.pem -in cert.pem -certfile chain.pem -export -out ssl\_wildcard\_dataservice.pfx Also domain verification works OK. Because the SSL cert. only has a short life before it needs to be renewed I now need to put in place an automated renewal - what I need to do is... 1. Azure Key can be linked with 'DigiCert' which is where the company I work for already has an account. 2. If this means purchasing the wildcard domain via Digicert this is fine. My question is: as I manually creating the cert(wildcard domain) via LetsEncrypt do I need to some how un-register/delete the cert linked to the wildcard domain before I can register it with Digicert? ---

You can have all the certs you want at the same time. Each of them will be valid until they expire. ---
