Using the 蜜桃TV Certificate Utility to Sign Your Code

Code Signing with the 蜜桃TV? Certificate Utility for Windows
蜜桃TV does not recommend using the 蜜桃TV Certificate Utility for Windows to create a code signing certificate CSR or to sign code files on currently supported versions of Windows. The 蜜桃TV Certificate Utility for Windows signs files with a legacy SHA 1 hashing algorithm, and newer versions of Windows no longer trust SHA 1 signed files.

If you have not yet ordered your Code Signing Certificate, visit Code Signing Certificates.
