EV certs have a maximum validity of 2 years. 5 year certs are also disappearing very soon from all providers.

I believe the official date as agreed with the CAB forum is 1st July 2012. However providers have started disabling earlier.

Geotrust, Symantec, Thawte and RapidSSL will no longer be available after today for 5 years or more.

Section 9 states that by April 2015 certificates will be reduced to 3 years. The industry is therefore gradually removing the years before this date

If you are a direct partner with thawte then the latest API spec update will have said they are removing 5/6 year certs as of 13 June (This was sent 4 June and also in Feb 2012).
