Understand Multi-year Plans

Annual plans

As of February 24, 2026, DigiCert TLS/SSL certificate plans are one year by default. Learn more about DigiCert annual plans.

A DigiCert® Multi-year Plan (MyP) allows you to pay a single price for up to 3 years of TLS/SSL certificate coverage. Multi-year Plans apply to Enterprise, Partner, and Legacy accounts. Subscription accounts do not offer Multi-year Plans.

How Multi-year Plans work

With a Multi-year Plan:

  • Select a certificate that supports Multi-year Plans, the duration of coverage, and the certificate validity period

  • DigiCert issues the first certificate with a maximum validity of 199 days

  • When the certificate approaches expiration, reissue it at no extra cost to use the remaining coverage on the plan

  • Continue reissuing until the plan expires

  • When the plan approaches expiration, renew the plan and certificate together

Reissuing a certificate does not update the expiring certificate on your website automatically. You must replace the expiring certificate with the reissued certificate on your server.

Revalidation during a Multi-year Plan

Depending on your plan length and certificate type, you may need to revalidate domains and organizations multiple times during the plan period:

  • Domain validation reuse is limited to the allowed reuse period. Revalidate domains before the reuse period expires to avoid certificate issuance delays.

  • OV organization validation reuse is limited to the allowed reuse period. Revalidate organizations before the reuse period expires.

Multi-year Plan coverage limits

  • Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) and Flat Fee contracts support 1 and 2-year Multi-year Plans

  • Standard accounts support up to 3-year Multi-year Plans where available

Accessing legacy Multi-year Plan orders after converting to Subscription

After converting to a Subscription account, existing Multi-year Plan orders remain accessible from the Legacy Orders page:

  1. In the CertCentral menu, go to My Digital Trust Products > Legacy Orders.

  2. Select the order number for the Multi-year Plan certificate you need to reissue.
