It works! will it auto renew? #6

Closed rdyar closed 8 years ago

This worked great for me, too easy. I did have to do an optional update to install .net 4.6.

Is this going to auto renew on its own?

Notes: I did this on an AWS EC2 T2 micro running windows 2012 R2.

I copied the acme.exe from the Releases link into a folder called LetsEncrypt on my C drive, then opened a command prompt there (Shift + Right Click - Open Command Window here) and then did as instructed: acme.exe -a mywebsite.com -m mailto:me@me.com

During the process, it asks for a password, it was not clear what this was to me - I was thinking it was being mailed to me so I checked my email. Eventually I figured maybe it was asking me to enter a password, so I made one up and it accepted it.

I'm still unclear what the purpose of the email is, I still have not received one, but the site is available over ssl with no errors that I can see.

pretty sure it won't auto renew. I used the other simple windows client linked to in the readme instead.
