Do I just need to be more patient, or am I missing something.

It seems that they will be providing the certs via LE. I'm just not sure what else I would need to do beyond editing the .htaccess file as per the e-mail.....We have two exciting additions to your LiveCode Hosting Server.
Firstly, we are providing everyone with free SSL certificates from Lets Encrypt. These will be activated on Thursday 30 August and should be available later on that day, though this is dependent on Lets Encrypt issuing the certificates. If you have an existing certificate then this will be unaffected, but any other domains you may have that are currently unsecured should become secured.
You may be aware that there has been a trend in recent times to deprecate http and use https exclusively for security reasons. This should enable you to do so if you wish to. However, you should note that your websites will not magically start using https where it hasnt previously been specified. You will need to tweak them in order to take advantage of this. The easiest way to do this is with the .htaccess file. For instance adding the following code to the .htaccess in the document root of each of your websites:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
If youre running a WordPress site you may also want to change the URL locations in wordpress to specify https instead of http.
Additionally, LiveCode Server 9 (32 bit) is available on your server right now. If you want to use LiveCode Server 9 instead the previously installed version (7) simply use the file extension .lc9 instead of .lc. LiveCode 7 will continue to be available with a .lc file extension.

I suppose it's possible that i may have received an early draft of this email. Mine definitely said 30 August.....Klaus wrote: ↑Fri Aug 31, 2018 10:04 pmI received this today:

So maybe there will be a little delay until everything is in place.
That makes sense. It still doesn't appear to have taken effect on the tio server, but I'll give it a week or two, and see if it's just taking longer than expected. It's not an urgent need at this point.
