After you purchase an eligible discounted replacement, AppTesters verifies the order details and begins processing the registered device UDID through available developer-account capacity.
1. Order and UDID verification
Check that the email address and UDID on the replacement order are correct. A certificate is tied to the submitted UDID, and an incorrect UDID generally cannot simply be exchanged after Apple processing has started.
2. Apple eligibility checks
Apple may place a device in an eligibility or ineligible period based on its previous developer-account history. AppTesters cannot bypass or manually shorten an Apple restriction. If this applies, the order page should show the relevant status or eligibility information.
3. Certificate issuance
Once the UDID is eligible and developer-account capacity is available, AppTesters can complete registration and issue the replacement certificate. Processing time can vary because Apple controls account approvals, account limits, and device eligibility.
4. Install the replacement
When the new certificate is ready, import or select the new certificate in your signing method, sign fresh copies of your apps, and reinstall them. Back up important app data before removing an existing app because uninstalling can delete locally stored data.
Purchasing the discounted replacement does not convert a Lifetime Premium or Ultimate plan into a yearly subscription. Normal future revocations remain covered according to the applicable revoke-protection terms. Another extraordinary ecosystem-wide Apple account event may need to be handled separately.
No free temporary enterprise certificate or free waiting queue is part of the current replacement process.
