License

Description

Consumption

Signature units

Signature units are relative to the number of hashes that are signed with a production keypair. Every hash that you sign consumes one signature unit.

DigiCert-hosted customers have a soft limit and can exceed the allotted number of resources, however this incurs additional overages.

Test signature units

Test signature units are relative to the number of hashes that are signed with a test keypair. Every hash you sign consumes one signature unit.

DigiCert-hosted customers have a soft limit and can exceed the allotted number of resources, however this incurs additional overages.

Cryptographic units

Cryptographic units are a count of all operations performed by an account, which are related to cryptographic assets, excluding signatures.

Cryptographic events include:

  • Create a keypair

  • Update a keypair

  • Export a keypair

  • Import keypair

  • Create a certificate

  • Update a certificate

  • Import a certificate

  • Revoke a certificate

  • Generate a CSR

DigiCert-hosted customers have a soft limit and can exceed the allotted number of resources, however this incurs additional overages.

HSM keypair units

HSM keypair units refer to how many keypairs you create on our HSMs. We provide sufficient space for the number of public trust certificates you are licensed to create as part of your Software Trust license. The more signature units you buy, the more public certificates and HSM keypair space you will be allocated.

DigiCert-hosted customers have a hard limit and can’t exceed the allotted number of resources unless Sales amends your license.

Threat detection (GB)

Threat detection units are calculated in GB. For every GB that they scan, 1 threat detection unit is consumed.

DigiCert-hosted customers have a soft limit and can exceed the allotted number of resources, however this incurs additional overages.
