Hi Jane,

Agreed, but setting up corporation as a front is not going to deter someone
who is determined to get some bad stuff out.

Ah, THAT I didn't know. Even verified it<g> It does indeed fail.

That's why if you use Armadillo, for example, you need to apply Armadillo
BEFORE signing, otherwise Windows will see the program as modified
(corrupt).
The signing process makes a hash of the file, and that hash is recalculated
when you run the program. If they don't match, the program isn't intact as
signed.

Hi Charles,

<g>

One of the problems is that it seems they only get one email out pr. day pr.
customer and there is always a new person involved. So, no replies to my
email yesterday or this morning

Hi Arnor

I feel your pain. My company does not have a phone account either so when the time
comes, it looks like I will need to:-

1: Scan present Phone account
2: screen capture to JPG
3: edit account name
4: email edited copy to Commode !

Yep, Charles has a similar solution <G>

Hi John,

> 1: Scan present Phone account

Sorry, that will not work. They need PHONE validation. I.e. they CALL the
number. Which is fine, but it has to be registered and match the phone bill
that you send them. And now they have found a multi-year old listing on the
stupid D&B website that is for our old DBA. We incorporated in 2006 and
they do not have that data in there. And Comodo insists that they must
validate with phone AND against D&B, i.e. the phone number on the bill must
match the phone number in the D&B listing. So now I have to get a phone in
the company name so they can call it AND I need to make some calls to it so
I can do an online invoice for it and send it to them so they can see that
it's in the name of the company. AND I need to email D&B and get them to
change their listing, which will probably take a year since they have not
YET got the 2006 data for our corporation! Not to mention that they insist
on using the icetips.com domain for verification, not our
icetipscreative.com domain. The problem with the old one is that it still
has old registrant information since it was first registered in 1995.

At this point I'm close to just tell them to just screw it. This is a
nightmare on 3 wheels if there ever was one<bg>

There must be some other way to work thru all this. But what that is I do not know.

Watching with interest.

Arnór,

Been there - done that <g>

At that point I told "VeriSign" that we have quite a few thousand customers
and that I would make the ridiculous story public. That we are a
widely-recognized global provider of installation authoring and software
configuration management solutions. That we are already one of the Top 5
installation tool vendors worldwide. That impressed them very much. They
told me "Good luck for the future and have a good day" <g>.

Problem is that certificates are a gold mine (thanks to Vista). 500
certificates per hour is *nothing*.

My advise is: always be polite! Try not to take it personally. Ask: "Do
you see a way to solve my problem?" And if you really want the certificate,
don't give up <g>.
