All,
It's time for another Comodo reminder. Today alone, we have received 11
support requests because code-signing certificates expired.
Please note that Comodo does not send renewal reminders!
Is your code-signing certificate due to expire? I would strongly suggest to
check this now! It is important that you buy your new certificate before
the expiry date. Once the certificate expired, you are unable to code-sign
your applications and/or installations! Setting back your PC clock does not
help!
Example: http://www.lindersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22891
There is not really a "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. Place a new order using the same
company information and Comodo should speed up the validation process.
Always quote your previous Comodo order number in any correspondence with
them.
To avoid having to resign software every time your certificate expires, use
the timestamping service. When you sign code, a hash of your code will be
sent to Certification authority to be timestamped. This means that you will
not need to worry about re-signing code when your Digital ID expires.
Microsoft Authenticode allows you to timestamp your signed code so that
signatures will not expire when your certificate does.
As a service to our customers, we have partnered with Comodo, Inc., a
leading WebTrust Compliant Certification Authority, to offer Comodo's range
of Code Signing Certificates and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) based
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates to qualified Lindersoft customers.
If your Verisign or Thawte certificate is due to expire soon, Lindersoft
customers can switch to a 3-Year Comodo certificate for just $200 instead of
$500.
Do the math: a Verisign Code Signing Digital ID costs $499 for 1 year, $895
for 2 years and $1,295 for 3 years. A Thawte Code Signing Digital ID costs
$299 for 1 year and $549 for 2 years. A Go Daddy Code Signing Certificate
costs $199.99 for 1 year, $359.98 for 2 years and $509.97 for 3 years.
