If more than 10 employees in your company need a certificate, Symantec offers the following benefits to buying in bulk: Subscribers can use a single sales order to purchase certificates rather than paying by credit card individually. Bulk certificate purchases are eligible for the Trusted Agent method. This method designates individuals within your organization to perform identity-proofing rather than relying on third-party public notaries. Trusted agents also can purchase PKI tokens in case Subscribers need Medium Token Assurance certificates. The minimum order is one (1) box of tokens which contains 10 tokens per box. The cost is $30 per token or $300 per box. This is in addition to the cost of the certificate.
