Save the file.

Open Command Prompt (CMD)
Navigate into the folder where you have it stored. I use my G drive.

[wacs.exe]

CFFCS | CarrzSynEdit: | CMD (Windows Command Prompt) | L (Linux)

C:\Windows\system32>G:
G:\>cd SSL
G:\SSL>wacs.exe

Once the program runs, choose
A: Manage renewals.
Next choose.
T: Run the renewal (force, no cache)
Once this is complete, you should be able to export your certificate.
