@taters I let mine expire recently as well (after years of maintaining it). I think it depends if you have equivalent (or superseding) certs. I (for example) have OSCP, eCPPT and a slew of offensive SANS certs, so I don't really need an active CEH on the roster.
Let me add that their CPE portal "ASPEN" or w/e is one of the least pleasurable places on the Internet.
@shellsharks lol, Aspen....I can't reset my password because my email address has a + in it. I was able to set the account up, and I'm able to log in with it. All fine. But if I ever need to reset my password, I'm screwed. I opened a ticket with them and that was just an exercise in patience that I ultimately ended up failing.
It's not like I'm taking it off my resume, I still got it, just let it lapse. I've never been questioned about my certs and would just be honest about it if I was. I only ever got the damn thing to prove a point anyway, it's not like my career hinges on it :D
