Commercial invoicing
Quoted and invoiced directly by Ace Micro — clear line items and terms your finance team expects.
The certificate is the easy part.
Anyone can sell a certificate. What costs teams time is validation that stalls, CSRs with the wrong name, missing intermediate chains, and renewals nobody tracked.
✅
Validation help
We prepare you for OV and EV vetting — business registry records, phone verification, and the CA callback.
⚙️
Installation support
Apache, Nginx, IIS, load balancers. We verify the full chain — not just what works in your browser.
📊
Platform onboarding
CertCentral or Trust Lifecycle Manager — account setup, divisions, and team training.

Certificate lifetimes are heading to 47 days.
Industry-wide, not optional. Applies to every public CA. The first stage is already in force — it shortens how long a certificate may live and how long domain validation can be reused.
| In effect from | Max validity | Validation reuse | Installs / cert / year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 Mar 2026 — now | 200 days | 200 days | 2 |
| 15 Mar 2027 | 100 days | 100 days | 4 |
| 15 Mar 2029 | 47 days | 10 days | 8 |

| OV | Domain + legal organisation | 1–3 business days | Business sites, portals, personal data |
| EV | Strictest audit standard | 3–5 business days | Banking, government, tenders requiring EV |

Guides
Straight answers — no sales pitch.
Wildcard covers one base domain and all first-level subdomains. Multi-domain (SAN) covers several separate domains. A wildcard does not cover
a.b.example.com — tell us if your naming goes two levels deep.Official business registration matching the certificate name exactly, a verifiable business phone, and a CA callback. We review everything before submitting — most delays are name or phone mismatches.
Usually a missing intermediate chain. Run
openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 and verify the full chain is served. Contact us before reissuing — reissue rarely fixes chain errors.Get a quote
