How to generate pfx file from spc?

Question

We purchased a certficate from godaddy.

We need to generate pfx file from the spc file provided.

For that last time we used the process provided in this link.

But, it should be done from the same machine where the certificate request is generated.

That machine is not available now. I tried to use the process on build machine, but the options are greyed out.

Options in mmc greyed out

You will have to make the machine available, or regenerate another certificate. — Michael Hampton, Aug 25 '20 at 04:42

As said in comments, private key left on the machine where original request was generated. Without the private key you can't get PFX. Until you make the machine available, the purchased certificate is useless, because it contains only public key. Alternativaly, re-create new CSR and request new certificate using another machine. You may or may not be charged for extra certificate. Contact GoDaddy support to check if you can re-request new certificate for free.

Ok, any other option? – uday kiran Aug 27 '20 at 15:56
Sorry, but no other options. – Crypt32 Aug 27 '20 at 15:57
If we request a new certificate, they will charge again extra? – uday kiran Aug 27 '20 at 15:57
It depends on particular CA provider. Some CAs offer re-issuance at no charge. Contact your CA provider for more details. – Crypt32 Aug 27 '20 at 15:59
My CA provider is godaddy.com – uday kiran Aug 27 '20 at 16:02
Have you contacted them? What did they say? – Crypt32 Aug 27 '20 at 16:04
They are replying with the same link again. – uday kiran Aug 27 '20 at 16:11
