Hello,
doesnt anyone knows if SSL certificate can be reissued if IP changed? OS reinstalled? Does it goes with all certificates?
Thank you :)

It depends on the company. Most SSL issuers will re-issue the cert if needed.
On Windows, you can usually mark the cert exportable when you install it and then you can easily export / import it to another server.
As for LINUX, When you buy a cert, save the CSR, key and CRT somewhere safe. If you need to reinstall on a different server, it's no problem, as long as it's the same type of server (ModSSL, etc). Just install like a normal cert, and make sure it's only installed on one IP at a time. The cert itself is not tied to an IP until installed; it's domain based.
