Validity of Code Signing certificates
Starting from March 1, 2026, a new CAB Forum rule will come into force that reduces the duration of Code Signing certificates: the maximum permitted validity for Code Signing certificates will change from 39 months (approximately 3 years) to 460 days (approximately 15 months) for all publicly trusted certificates.
This means that:
- new certificates or renewals issued from March 1, 2026 will not be able to have a validity longer than 460 days;
- Code Signing certificates issued before March 1, 2026 with a longer validity will remain valid until their natural expiration date, even if they exceed 460 days.
