On March 1st, 2015, GGSSL will ends selling SSL certificate with validity periods of 4 and 5 years according to new guidelines by the Certificate Authority/Browser (CA/B) Forum, the governing body of the SSL industry. This update will affect all SSL certificates in the industry, including the entire product catalogs of Symantec, Comodo, Thawte, GeoTrust, and RapidSSL.
Please note that any active 4 or 5-year certificate that are reissued after the March 1st, 2015 deadline will automatically be truncated to the new maximum duration permissible, which is 39 months. Ultimately, this is good news for the SSL industry, as certificates with shorter lifespans make security updates much easier and more streamlined.
