With the CA/B Forum’s recent decision to shorten certificates to only 47 days (1.5 months), manually renewing and reinstalling SSL certificates is becoming increasingly impractical.
The bad news: With a 47-day certificate lifespan, you’ll need to renew and reinstall your certificate at least eight times per year. And that’s just for one certificate — imagine if you have hundreds of them (or more) to manage.
That’s a lot of work and creates many opportunities for errors and site downtime.
Shorter certificate lifespans are coming.
Here's how you can automate SSL certificate installations and renewals.

You can avoid the hassle and risk by automating SSL certificates. Setting up automation is a “one and done” approach — you only need to install it once and you’re set. The certificate will renew, validate, and install automatically after that, so it’s always up to date.
The good news: The SSL Store™ offers multiple options for automating your SSL certificates, plus we’ll be rolling out several new automation tools over the next few weeks.
