    Default Code Signing Question

    1. If I get code signing for one of my programs then
    a customer asks for a report change
    do I have to purchase the code signing all overf again after I incorporate the report?

    2. Also, does code signing cover all the dlls used by the program?
    Would a change in my report DLL require a new code-signing?

    This could get very expensive, I have over 10 programs I may have to get
    code-signed because Microsoft screwed me again
    (my legacy programs no longer print reports. When I put the exe in a win 32
    environment they work)

    Thanks for any avice

    No. A code signing certificate can be used for the length of time it is
    for (1, 2, 3 or more years) and it can be used to sign unlimited number
    of exe/dlls during that time. It just verifies who you are.

    Yes. Any changes will require a code sign as it is embedded into the
    binary file.

    As far as I know, the 5 years option is not available any more.

    Maybe I was confusing it with the timer server certificates which seems
    to be like 20 years or something.

    Yes there is. Its from Verisign. Comodo has only 1, 2 and 3 year certificates.

    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.
