You can use the EMC or powershell to create a new CSR. This shows using the EMC

You can look at your current cert to see the values used.

And installation:

Once installed to one exchange server, you'll want to use the EMC (or shell) to export the exchange cert as a .pfx. Then you can install it on additional servers.

This how we generally renew Exchange Certificate:
1. Generate a new CSR
2. Get the new Cert from vendor (with new CSR)
3. Import the new Cert and assign the necessary services (IIS)
4. Remove the old cert
The vendors generally provide two certificates, One for Exchange and the other is Intermediate.

And I would follow their guidance for completing their certificate renewal process. Pay attention to what intermediate certs are needed. Some vendors make this really obfuscated, and you have to delete in-box certs and replace them with updated intermediates from the vendor's site :(
Have you got this completed now ?
