In the context of SSL / TLS certificates, a Subject Alternative Name (SAN) allows a single certificate to secure multiple domains or subdomains. Instead of paying per certificate, SAN Licensing costs are calculated based on the number of unique SAN entries being used, regardless of how many certificates are issued. With the ongoing decrease in SSL / TLS certificate lifespans, in addition to rapidly changing environments in test, development, and CI/CD pipelines; traditional per-certificate pricing models can become costly and inefficient.
SAN Licensing solves this by allowing unlimited issuance, reissuance, and revocation of certificates for each SAN. This offers flexibility and cost savings, particularly in dynamic or large-scale deployments.
How SAN Licensing Can Support Your Organization's Infrastructure and Operations
Strategic benefits for infrastructure architects and operations teams managing dynamic environments
Manage Short-lived Certificates Cost-effectively
Follow security best practices with frequent certificate reissuance without the traditional cost penalty, thanks to unlimited certificate issuance per SAN.
Secure All Environments from Dev to Production
Protect your development, testing, staging, and production environments with secure certificates, eliminating wasted certificates and cost constraints.
Adapt to Dynamic Infrastructure Changes
Easily add, replace, or remove Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) as your infrastructure evolves, without incurring extra license fees.
Maintain Security Compliance
Regularly update certificates to meet evolving security standards and reduce vulnerability windows through affordable, flexible SAN Licensing.
Automate with ACME Integration
Streamline certificate renewals by integrating with ACME-compatible automation tools - reducing manual management and operational overhead.
Take Control of Your SSL / TLS Certificate Management
Operational benefits focused on day-to-day certificate lifecycle, visibility, and license management
- Only Pay for Active SANs: Eliminate per-certificate charges - your license cost is based solely on the number of active SANs, no matter how many certificates you issue.
- Reissue Certificates as Often as Needed: Make updates or security refreshes easily by reissuing certificates without extra costs or administrative delays.
- Reclaim Licenses by Revoking Unused SANs: Free up capacity by cancelling or revoking SANs you no longer use, ensuring your license allocation matches your current needs.
- Mix FQDN and Wildcard SANs with Flexibility: Support a variety of domain configurations by combining fully qualified domain names and wildcard SANs under one license.
- Centralized Management via GlobalSign's Atlas: Gain real-time insight into SAN usage, certificate status, and generate compliance reports through the intuitive Atlas platform.
- Seamless Integration with ACME Automation: Automate certificate issuance and renewal workflows to keep your infrastructure secure with minimal manual intervention.
