Example Document
For example, see the Certificate Stores section in this example document.
While not built-in to Windows, OpenSSL is a popular tool that can be downloaded and used for certificate checks. Open Command Prompt: Run the command: Bash openssl s_client -connect www.example.com:443 < /dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -dates Replace www.example.com with the domain you want to check.
You can check the activation expiry date using the command slmgr /xpr or check the license details using the command slmgr /dli (or slmgr /dlv for more details).
Click Start or press the Windows key. In the Start menu, either in the Run box or the Search box, type regedit and press Enter. The Registry Editor window should open and look similar to the example shown below. Check the subkeys for each SSL/TLS version for both server and client.
The certificate store is located in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE root. Current user certificate store: This certificate store is local to a user account on the computer. This certificate store is located in the registry under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER root.
Digital certificates validity periods are specific to each type of certificate. Currently, code signing certificates are valid for up to three years while SSL certificates are valid for just over one year.
Open the Chrome app and visit the HTTPS website you want to check.Tap the lock icon next to the URL in the address bar.Tap "Certificate" to view basic certificate information.
Modern web browsers will display warning messages to users attempting to access a site with an expired security certificate. This can erode users' trust and deter visitors from continuing to the site, potentially leading to a loss of traffic and credibility for the website or organization.
If you're using a Domain Validation (DV) certificate with the primary domain for your account, and you've set the certificate to auto-renew, no further action is needed on your part. Renewing your SSL certificate is completely automated.
