[linder]

SETUPBUILDER 2025 BETA DOCUMENTATION AND INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE YET

Apologies, everyone! The instructions for SetupBuilder 2025 aren’t fully completed yet. Our main goal was to release the beta today, and we’ve done that! Updated documentation will be available in the next beta build, with more detailed info coming over the next few days. Need help or have questions? Feel free to reach out to me directly at friedrich@lindersoft.com.


Certum's cloud solution uses the SimplySign platform, which replaces physical cryptographic cards with a virtual one in the cloud. You can use it from anywhere and at any time. Private keys are stored in Certum's HSM (Hardware Security Modile)-protected cloud (a tamper-resistant device meeting FIPS 140-2 standards), reducing the risk of key theft from local devices.

SetupBuilder 2025 fully supports (Certum) Cloud Code Signing.

Start the SetupBuilder 2025 Integrated Development Environment (IDE). If you have not configured code-signing yet, select "Help" > "Get SignInstall (x86 or x64) for SetupBuilder". This will automatically download and install the required service files.

1. In the SetupBuilder 2025 IDE, open Tools > Options... and select the "eToken Config" button.



2. Select your certificate and this will display your certificates Thumbprint



3. Click "Copy Thumbprint to Clipboard" button and Exit the wizard.

4. Back in Options..., paste the Thumbprint into the "Software Publisher Certificate" entry field.

5. Select a SHA-2 Timestamp Server and select the "Software Publisher Certificate" Configuration" option.

6. Enable Digital Signature in "General Information".



7. Start the compilation process and SimplySign Desktop connects you to the cloud certificate when you authenticate with the mobile app token. This will unlock the cloud-stored key for ~2 hours.
