Printer's Plan API - SSL Certificate Creation and Renewal using Let's Encrypt Follow

**It is strongly advised to use an IT team for this setup.**

Obtaining and installing an SSL certificate involves several steps, including generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR), submitting it to a Certificate Authority (CA), and installing the issued certificate on your web server.

Installing and configuring Let's Encrypt on a Windows server involves using a client that supports Let's Encrypt's ACME protocol. One popular tool for this purpose is Certbot for Windows or Win-ACME. Below are steps to use Win-ACME to install and configure Let's Encrypt on a Windows server running IIS.
