There are no impacts. The subscription offer takes into account the certificates active at the time of subscription; therefore, even if renewals need to be managed more frequently from a commercial perspective, the change is transparent for the customer.
The use of ACME is strongly recommended. Given the increasingly shorter duration of certificates, it becomes essential to adopt automated renewal mechanisms to ensure efficient and continuous management.
There are no impacts: certificates issued before March 15, 2026 will not lose validity and will retain their original duration until their normal expiration.
There are no impacts: code signing certificates issued before March 1, 2026 will not lose validity and will retain their original duration until their normal expiration.
In the event of early revocation of the certificate, the renewal will not be issued.
Because the technical duration has been reduced, but annual coverage is guaranteed through a second certificate available in the customer area after 168 days.
Yes, you will be notified when the new certificate is available in the customer area so you can proceed with the activation request.
This is not possible: it becomes available in the customer area only after 168 days from activation.
You may lose continuity of annual coverage, making a new issuance or validation necessary. In any case, the second certificate will be visible in the customer area and you will be able to proceed with its activation.
It depends on the system used: in many cases, the certificate must be reinstalled or updated, either manually or through automation mechanisms such as ACME.
Yes, it is a technical renewal to ensure continuity of annual coverage, with the same scope as the purchased product.
Yes, because a new CSR must be generated.
It is not recommended: during the provisioning phase, the system will require a new CSR to be generated.
Only if the validation is still valid. Starting from March 15, 2026, the validation duration is 200 days; beyond this period, the procedure must be repeated.
It may be necessary to repeat the validation before issuance if the previous validation exceeds the new validity window.
No: it is part of the annual coverage included in the offer.
No: in the event of early revocation of the certificate, the renewal will not be issued.
Yes. If renewal occurs within 184 days, a renewal certificate is issued with a duration equal to 184 days plus the remaining period of the previous certificate.
Example: if the new certificate is issued 169 days after the issuance of the first one, the renewal certificate will have a total duration of 200 days (184 days + 16 remaining days).
No, you will need to purchase a 1-year code signing certificate.
Renewals will need to be carried out more frequently, for example annually, and it is recommended to evaluate automation tools.
