Licensing
DigiCert® Software Trust Manager operates on a subscription licensing model, offering a range of units that correspond to different cryptographic activities. Understanding these units and their limits is essential for managing your accounts effectively. For updates to your license agreement, contact DigiCert Sales.
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. | While you can exceed the allocated signature units, overages can be incurred. |
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. | While you can exceed the allocated signature units, overages can be incurred. |
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:
| While you can exceed the allocated signature units, overages can be incurred. |
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. | You can't exceed the allocated HSM keypair units unless Sales amends your licenses. |
Threat detection (GB) | Threat detection units are calculated in GB. For every GB that they scan, 1 threat detection unit is consumed. | While you can exceed the allocated signature units, overages can be incurred. |
