Chris,

as the others said.

That 1, 2, or 3 year period is the time, where you can sign your binary data.
One certificate for all.

As a note: If you sign against a timeserver, like
http://timestamp.comodoca.com?td=sha256 or any other, then your software is
code-signed indefinetily. If you do not, then your EXE, DLL etc expire the same
day as your certificate does. So always use one of those timeserver. The most
easy and convenient way to conde-sign is with SetupBuilder. I made a script for
that, so its just a tip with my finger and a few seconds later that tasks is
done.
