Effective March 1, 2026, new industry requirements from the CA/Browser Forum will limit the maximum validity period of publicly trusted code signing certificates to 458 days. In preparation, SSL.com began enforcing this 458-day cap on certificate issuance starting February 27, 2026. This change does not affect the total purchased term of a customer’s order, but individual certificates issued within that term may need to be reissued more frequently. Customers will still receive the full value of their purchase, even though each certificate will have a shorter lifespan. This update is mandatory across all publicly trusted certificate authorities and is designed to enhance security by reducing risk exposure and improving cryptographic agility.
