We're coming up our current code certificate expiring next month. Do I
have it right that you don't really renew the current certificate, you
just buy a new one (for the next 3 years)?

Yep. Re-Apply, resubmit required documentation. It is just like you have never
had one before. At least that is my experience. In addition this last time
they had even stricter documentation requirements.

Unless you want MS Logo requirements. They are forcing VeriSign on everyone

Ben,

Yes, you buy a new one (for the next 3 years).

I would suggest a couple things when you go through the Code Certificate
Order Process!

Preparation and actual Code Sign Order Process

DO NOT rush yourself in the order process - be slow, deliberate

There is no "renewal" process for code-signing certificates if you have
purchased a certificate in the past. You always have to request a new one
and go thru the entire process again.

Use your "old" login details to login to the Comodo ordering system and
place a new order using the same company information and Comodo should speed
up the validation process. Be sure to quote your previous Comodo order
number in any correspondence with them.
