Migration from v1.9.5+ to v1.9.9
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%
.
- Start
regedit.exe
- Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\letsencrypt-win-simple\
- For each key there take the following steps:
- Find the matching folder in your
ConfigurationPath
, which defaults to%programdata%\letsencrypt-win-simple
- E.g. the key
https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/
matches with the folderhttpsacme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org
- E.g. the key
- Create a new file named
Renewals
in the matching folder - Copy the contents of the registry subkey
Renewals
to that file
- Find the matching folder in your
- Delete or rename
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\letsencrypt-win-simple\
to make sure the program doesn’t find it anymore.
