Indeed. Thawte has an FAQ about this. What you need to do is create a fake
Web site on your server, then export the key, send it to Thawte. When they
send you the certificate, go to IIS, install it for the fake site. Then go
to your real Web site, and import that key. Finally, delete the fake site.

If you ask their tech support they can assist you via a chat and it worked
like a charm.

They're in South Africa, so it's better to do it early in the morning.
