Unlike a standard code signing certificate, the DigiCert EV Code Signing certificate is installed on a physical USB device. After completing validation for your DigiCert EV Code Signing certificate, DigiCert will mail the certificate USB to your verified business address.
Once you have received your EV Code Signing certificate USB package, our support team can help you set it up on your system.
Please email us at [email protected] and reference your order ID number so our team can retrieve the Initialization Token for your EV Code Signing Certificate.
The first step to initializing your DigiCert EV Code Signing Certificate is to install the SafeNet Authentication Client. Please select the most appropriate download for your operating system below:
