iphone app: how to renew an expired distribution certificate through the iOS provisioning portal

My distribution certificate is tied to an app, that I have distributed ad hoc to number of field employees, and it says it's going to expire tomorrow. When I go into the iOS provisioning portal, I go to the certificates link, and then the Distribution tab. Under expiration date for the certificate the date is listed as tomorrow. My question is how do I renew the certificate? I've been told there may be a renew button that pops up when it expires. I've also been told this renew button is going to pop up today when it hasn't. Is there going to be a renew button? Will the renew button pop up under the provisioning profile attached to the certificate or in certificates-->distribution in the portal? None of this is documented anywhere on what I need to do to ensure no down time with my app.

Thanks for the help!

What happens if my iOS distribution certificate expires?

If your certificate expires, passes that are already installed on users' devices will continue to function normally. However, you'll no longer be able to sign new passes or send updates to existing passes. If your certificate is revoked, your passes will no longer function properly.

Once expired, you will get a renew button, yes. If you want to do it before it expires, revoke the current certificate and you will get a button to request a new one.

Which ever way you do it, your ad hoc app will stop working tomorrow and you should distribute a new build with new provisioning profile signed with new certificate.
