> I understand there is a cloud option too but we weren't offered that. Not every certificate issuer offers the 'certificate in cloud' (software token) solution. I for example have a Certum certificate. Certum offers for the OV and the EV certificates both the certificate in cloud and the eToken solution. So one can choose. For my OV certificate in the cloud I paid not more than i paid for my old 3-year certificate. I purchased not directly from Certum, but from SSLPoint and paid 329 Eur for a 3-year OV certificate in the cloud. For those who are interested in a Cloud certificate.... Leaderssl.com is currently selling the 3-years Certum OV cloud certificate even for only 300 Euros and the EV for 600 Euros. The cloud based solutions works this way: You have to install a mobile app on your Android or iOS smart phone and also a desktop app on your Windows pc. The mobile app creates a one time password which you need to login with your desktop app into the Certum "Cloud" or however this could be called. As soon and as long you are logged in to the cloud service the certificate is "included" in your certificate store. Signtool.exe and any also other signing tool, e.g. Jarsigner, which is able to sign using a token, can access the certificate then. The eToken solution works similar. You have to install a driver for the eToken on your Windows PC. As soon as signtool tries to access the certificate from the eToken, the driver software asks for the password to access the eToken. Unfortunately osslsigncode for macOS currently does not support tokens, therefore it is not possible to sign Windows executabls on macOS anymore when using those new certificates. Osslsignode for Linux shall support the new tokens, but i haven't tested it yet. Matthias > If you go for the USB solution, give yourself some time.
