That is precisely my issue. After navigating my way through
the original application procedure and then later figuring
out how to renew, I suffered some computer problems.
Apparently the files I had saved (even though they were less
than a year old) were "expired" and the ONLY way to fix
things was to get new files from the ARRL. I still don't
have a clear idea what each file does (.p12, .tq8, etc) but
apparently you have to have brand new fresh new ones after
you re-install the software. That exceeds my hassle
threshold, and that was the day I quit using LOTW.
