Overview

A SAN license enables customers to purchase a number of unique SANs that can be used for as many unique certificates as you may need. This is an ideal fit for companies that may issue many unique certificates for development purposes or IOT devices.
You are permitted to have up to the quoted number of unique SANs on active (not expired or revoked) certificates.
Some important things to keep in mind regarding your SAN license are:

• Each unique SAN counts as 1 SAN of your SAN license.

• Once a certificate expires or is revoked, SANs in that certificate will be returned to your SAN license.

• Wildcard SANs typically count as 5 SANs, but this is configurable per quote.

• You may have more than 1 product taking advantage of one license.

• The greater the number of SANs in the SAN license, the larger the discount, so bundling products may be cost-effective and permit the maximum flexibility.

• Your license quota may be increased during the active license period if you find you need more SANs.

• The price for a greater SAN license is prorated to align with the active license pricing.

• The SAN license may be renewed up to 30 days before (or, in some exceptions, after) the initial license expires.

• A SAN license may increase or decrease its limit upon renewal.

• As customer requirements change or as new TLS products are launched, new products may be added to an existing license (assuming they are of the same or lower tier or price).
