Notifications
Notifications allow you to personalize your email notification preferences for monitoring your production signature unit and HSM unit consumption. While the final notification is mandatory and occurs when you exhaust your units, you have the option to request advance notifications as you approach your account limit.
These notifications are sent via email to users with Manage account settings permission.
Production signature units
Signature units are relative to the number of hashes that are signed with a production keypair. Every hash that you sign will consume one signature unit.
Nota
Signature units have a soft limit. This means that you are not restricted to the unit amount in your account and can exceed it however you will incur overages.
Production HSM spaces
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 DigiCert® Software Trust Manager license. The more signature units you buy, the more public certificates and HSM keypair space you will be allocated.
Nota
HSM keypair units have a hard limit. This means that you will be restricted to the amount of units in your account and you cannot exceed it unless your license is amended by contacting Sales.

Sign in to DigiCert ONE.
