Mystery solved – found the web location for the certs (it is very convoluted in the AWS website).
When I look at the certificate now – it shows Valid for 3 years also has the validation code. And it shows Active on the site. (whew)
So have to download new copies of all the old certs.
As a side note – the site says – you must re-certify before expiration. Don’t know what that means – is Re-certification different than Certification?
