Comodo has stopped issuing SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) since August,1 2016.

These products are not available for purchase anymore and will be removed from our RCP (Reseller Control Panel) and API on September, 6 2016:

• EV SGC SSL
• Instant SGC SSL
• Instant SGC Wildcard SSL

If you have a valid SGC certificate which will be up for renewal in the future, we recommend the  following alternatives:

Existing certificate	Replacement Certificate
EV SGC SSL	Comodo EV
Instant SGC SSL	Comodo Instant SSL
Instant SGC Wildcard SSL	Comodo PremiumSSL Wildcard

 

The move away from SGC to your new certificate type will not impact your website security.

All Comodo certificates are trusted by 99.9% of browsers and mobile devices and use the very latest security technologies (including SHA-2 algorithms, 2048 signatures and RSA/ECC keys).

Comodo has decided to retire SGC because the number of people still using old browsers has fallen to insignificant levels.

Symantec SGC certificates

In accordance with a general movement away from SGC among major certificate authorities we will not offer Symantec SGC certificates as well:

Existing certificate	Replacement Certificate
Secure Site Pro with EV	Secure Site with EV
Secure Site Pro	Secure Site
Thawte SGC SuperCert	Thawte Web Server

 

Although they are still available via API we do not recommend purchasing them as they do not offer additional value for your customers.
