What happens when requesting a new fairplay certificate?

Hi,


I have a question regarding FairPlay Streaming Certificates. Suppose we have a current FairPlay certificate in use and this certificate has an expriation date. We would like to know what happens when we ask for another certificate say about a week or month in advance? Will the existing working certificate be revoked? For a short time, can we have 2 valid certificates?


Also, what is Apple's policy regarding staging environments? Ideally, we would prefer to have 2 certificates if possible so that we can update our staging environment and confirm things are working as expected prior to us making changes in production environment.


Thanks in advance.

Hello tommy_hui,


As described in the FairPlay Streaming (FPS) programing guide, FPS ignores the expiration of the FPS credentials and your FPS Key Server Module should also. There is no need to replaced your FPS credentials.
