> renew Why ?

Because a certificate expired but nothing else changed.

> renew How ?

1. Upgrade to EasyRSA Version 3.1.1

2. Use renew <commonName>

   This will leave two certificate for <commonName>.

3. Use revoke-renewed <commonName> [reason]

   This will leave one renewed certificate for <commonName>.

> revoke-renewed cannot find certificates for <commonName> ?

• If an earlier version of easyrsa has been used to renew a certificate:

11. Use rewind-renew <serialNumber>

    This will save the files stored by serialNumber back to files named by <commonName>.

12. Use revoke-renewed <commonName> [reason]

    This will revoke the old certificate, which has been replaced by a new certificate.

> renew found an old certificate for <commonName> ?

21. Use revoke-renewed <commonName> [reason]

> Update CRL
