I don’t understand. If you want to release sign drivers for testing, which I think it a bad idea but whatever,…
I’m curious to know why you think it is a bad idea. I’m bothered by the
idea of requiring my clients – some of whom are not as technically
sophisticated as they need to be – to run their machines in
/testsigning mode.
you’re going to need an EV Cert. OR you’re going to have to get your client to get an EV Cert and give you access to their sysdev account (this is actually very practical… The primary sysdev account holder can create other accounts for the same company and control a fairly fine grained set of permissions associated with each account) and THEIR EV Cert. This second option is what we do now when we have clients that want the Logo and want to pay us to run the Logo tests and submit for them. It works out quite well.
That’s certainly what I have done for logo submissions in the past. I
did finally go out to the WHDC web site, and it looks like you can now
use a certificate from either Symantec ($800) or Digicert ($225) to open
a sysdev account, so there does appear to be another option now.
