You need to re-generate the request from IIS and submit it to Verisign.

Subject: RE: How to install renewed certificate?

Verisign sent me an email indicating the cert would be expiring soon, with a
link to renew. I clicked the link and was brought to a page that allowed me
to view the details of my current cert. Upon confirming the details are/were
still correct, I was brought to the check-out page where I chose the cert
duration, and bought it. Shortly thereafter, they emailed the cert to me. 

Which leaves me where I am now....WTF do I do with the damn thing?

You would typically generate the request then use it to create a new cert at
Verisign or wherever you want (Tip: screw Verisign. They are way
overpriced). Then you would get the new cert and install it.
I'm curious how you even got a new cert if you didn't do a request. Did you
use the original or something?
Unfortunately I think you are going to have to call Verisign and start the
process over again.

Subject: How to install renewed certificate?

I have an SSL cert from Verisign on my Exchange server for OWA. I recently
received a renewal notice from Verisign, because the cert will be expiring
soon. I went ahead and renewed through Verisign's online renewal tool, and
Verisign sent me the new cert.

Now...how the heck do I install this thing? It's Exchange 2003 running on
Windows 2003. IIS wants me to generate a certificate renewal request first,
but I don't need to do that because I already have the cert. I tried it
anyway though...went ahead created the request, then went back and tried to
import the cert that I already have into the pending certificate request
wizard, but it doesn't work; says the cert I have doesn't match up to the
request.

So I guess ultimate question here is, how do I install a certificate in IIS,
if I didn't go through IIS's certificate request first?
