Additional Licenses »
You can now secure multiple servers with one certificate with the help of thawte Additional Licenses.
What is a License?
A license is for users who wish to secure multiple servers with one certificate. This option should only be used if all the servers have the same alias (i.e. URL seen by clients in their browsers) and if you wish to use the same certificate on 5 separate machines (you can request a maximum number of 5 licenses per certificate.)
In what situation would a License be needed?
The most common environment in which users would require licenses is in a distributed architecture/load balancing setup.
Note:
- A certificate is initially issued for use on one server. You will need one additional license for each additional server the certificate is to be used for. Additional licenses should only be purchased when the same domain name is used across the servers and the installed software is also the same. Please note that once a license has been applied it cannot be deleted.
- You will be able to add additional licenses to a certificate during its lifecycle.
- A license is not needed for the server that has the actual server certificate installed on it.
