AutoSSL 3x certificates

Hi, I need to use the certificate generated by AutoSSL on my CDN. If I go to WHM I see the CA (all good), the private key (all good too) AND three separate certificates named Certificate #1, #2 and #3 They all have different dates of expiration. In a weird fashion too, one expires tomorrow (literally) while the other is valid from 2000 to 2020 or some such thing. The third one is also good up until 2025. They all say issued by Comodo. Is there any reason why to use one or another? Obviously I'd prefer to use the one with the longest expiration date.

  Hi @hector_super Based on what you're describing I believe the other two certificates you're seeing are the intermediate and root certificates for the certificate authority. These are just verifying your Certificate Authority (Comodo) and are not related to your domain. If your certificate expires tomorrow I would suggest checking out the AutoSSL logs at WHM>>SSL/TLS>>Manage AutoSSL -> Logs to determine why a new one hasn't been issued yet. Thanks!
