Starting February 15, 2026, code signing certificate lifespans are limited to a maximum of one year. As a result, DigiCert now offers only 1-year code-signing certificate plans.
Good News:
With Certera & Sectigo Code Signing Certificates, you can still purchase multi-year terms using the “Install on Existing HSM” option to lock in the best per-year price and re-issue approximately after 400–460 days during the subscription period to ensure uninterrupted validity.
