<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> You must generate a certificate signing request (CSR)<\/a> once again.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step\n3:<\/strong> Send the CSR code to your chosen certificate authority. What\nmakes this particularly convenient is that with our java code signing\ncertificates, you can send the code directly from your account. Some CAs send a\nlink in the email that leads you to the page where you need to submit the CSR\ncode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step\n4:<\/strong> Complete the verification process<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If\nyou haven\u2019t changed the certificate authority, the verification process would\nbe quicker than the first time. If you are selecting a new CA, the\nverification process will take one to three days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step\n5:<\/strong> Once you complete the verification process successfully,\nthe CA will issue a renewed Java code signing certificate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAQs About How to Renew Java Code Signing Certificate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Can I use the old CSR code when renewing a Java code\nsigning certificate?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No.\nYou must generate a new CSR code every time you renew your code signing\ncertificate. This rule is uniform for digital certificates of all the certificate\nauthorities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I change my certificate authority at the time of\nrenewal?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes.\nYou can change the certificate authority any time you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens if I don’t renew the Java code signing\ncertificate on time?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\nare two significant consequences of not renewing the code signing certificate on\ntime:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. You won’t get a timely indication if anyone tampers with the software. This will make the software vulnerable, enabling hackers to spread malware using your software. <\/li>
  2. Your users will see the following warning box at the time of downloading:<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"expired<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    This type of display and the security concerns it communicates can\ndiscourage users from downloading your software and damage your\nreputation as a publisher or developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How early can I renew the Java code signing certificate\nbefore its expiry date?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    You\ncan renew a code signing certificate as early as 90 days before its expiry\ndate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Will I lose money for remaining time If I renew the code\nsigning certificate early? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    No! If\nyou renew your code signing certificate early, you won\u2019t lose money for the time\nremaining on your existing certificate. We will adjust the remaining time on\nthe new certificate. So, for example, if you renew the yearly code signing\ncertificate two months before its expiry date, we will issue the new code\nsigning certificate for 14 months (i.e., 12 months of yearly contract, plus 2\nmonths extra to cover the time remaining before the existing expiry date).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Can I extend the validity of my Java code signing\ncertificate?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    No.\nAll the Java code signing certificates come with an expiry date, which is\nstrictly followed by all the CAs. Neither the CA nor the reseller can extend\nthe validity period of a code signing certificate. You must renew it to\ncontinue getting benefits of the code signing certificate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Can I sign other types of software and scripts with Java\ncode signing certificate?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    With the Thawte<\/a> Java\ncode signing certificate, you can sign Microsoft Authenticode, VBA and Office, Adobe\nAir, and Macromedia Shockwave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With Symantec<\/a>,\neach code signing certificate will cover one platform only. So, if you buy one\nSymantec Java code signing certificate, you can\u2019t sign any other type of software\nwith it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
