To download a CSR certificate:

generating it can be downloaded by click the Download button.
Note: The CSR and the private key file are a matched set and should

not be useful. This applies to uploading and downloading the CSR
and private key files.
2. Send the saved CSR to a CA for certification. You will get the new
