Is your code-signing certificate due to expire? I would strongly suggest to
check this! It is important you renew your certificate before the expiry
date. Once the certificate expired, you are unable to code-sign your
applications!

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 resigning 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.

And 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 $1,295 for 3
years. A Thawte Code Signing Digital ID costs $549 for 2 years.
