Hi all,
I really again want to publicly thank Friedrich for all his work and efforts
by telling you a "live" story
I have like many here purchased a comodo certificate to sign all my apps and
all is perfect
Like some of you may know, I ma trying since two years to get one or the
other of my apps to be certified by Microsoft as "that" really gives a heads
up sales wise ....
Lately Microsft came up with two new logo's : certified for Windows 2008 and
Works with Windows 2008 offering us - ISV members - to pay full fees of the
verification tests
Of course I jumped on the occasion and tried getting DMC through that
With the help of Friedrich, we got a new version of SB out which enabled me
to version ressource all dll's with full name and version even if that is
never ever required.....I still need to receive from SV a copy of their ADO
driver versioned but ....
For the test all is now perfect also and DMC can get those logos :)
BUT and here is another stringth of SB : Microsoft requires a winqual
account to "know" who is sending apps
Winqual compels us to have a verisign certificate to open an account :
either a 99$ cert. or a 399$ one....
Since yesterday I have been trying and corresponding with Microsoft and
verisign as the 99$ certificate does not function on their site.....till the
end of this month - Microsft requires that we enroll and submit before the
26/02 ......
Good commercial way of doing an extra 300$ for verisign ...... ?
Maybe not : this morning I decided to go ahead and purchase a certificate
for 399$.....BUT forgot about one small point : I yet do not have an
officialy declared company here in France and with comodo I asked them for a
personal certificate and all was easy .....
VERISIGN REFUSES TO DELIVER ANY CERTIFICATE if not to a registered company.
POINT.
End of the road for my certification ? - I hope the engineeers at M$ are
able to help me there but this is mainly to show you all that Friedrich has
always been able to get the correct people around him : in the certificate
case imagine what situation if he had made the wrong choice and only
registered companies could receive a cert ???
MERCI mon ami..... a maybe sad dev (maybe still possible to get through all
this if the M$ guys want me badly enough) ..... but still a very happy one
:)
