# Exporting a Logbook of The World Certificate

Use of Logbook of The World requires that each user have one or more secure certificates issued by the ARRL to sign their logs. These certificates can be requested within Aether. The certificate file sent by ARRL can only be installed on the computer used to request it. In order to transfer your certificates to another computer or reinstall them in the event of a crash, you must export them in .p12 format. This certificate format is standard for LoTW and Aether is not required to use it, it can be installed on any computer running TrustedQSL or other LoTW compatible software.

To export a Logbook of The World certificate:

1. Open Aether preferences by choosing "Preferences" from the Aether menu.
2. Select the QSL tab in the Preferences window.
3. Click the "Manage Certificates…" button.
4. A window will appear showing the certificates installed on your computer.
5. Select the certificate you'd like to export.
6. Click the "Export…" button.
7. Browse to and select a location to save the exported certificate file.
8. If you created a password for your certificate when you requested it, you will be prompted to enter the password.
9. Your certificate will be saved with a ".p12" file extension.
