But… hasn’t that been the requirement forever? Not ANY class 3 Code Signing Cert, but a particular Symantec one? That’s why there was the special $100 offer for that cert that folks (including OSR) used for years.
This is actually one of the primary reasons I asked my recent question.
Yes, creating a winqual account has always required a Symantec
certificate, although not necessarily a Symantec code-signing
certificate. Thus, you could either get a “Symantec plain” plus an
“affordable Class 3”, or you could get a gold-plated “Symantec Class 3”.
Since I don’t actually distribute any of the drivers I write, and the
winqual account has to belong to the submitting company, I’ve never had
a winqual account, so I’ve never had the Symantec certificate. Hence,
my question. In order to reproduce my client’s environment, am I now
going to be REQUIRED to get a genuine Symantec certificate in order to
create the account through which I make these submissions?
