Code Signing using Sectigo USB Token

See more Code Signing Examples

Demonstrates how to Authenticode sign an EXE or DLL using a SafeNet USB token from Sectigo.

Requires Chilkat v10.0.0 or greater.

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

    // and provide timestamp server information.

    // to login to your token using your token password.
    // You don't want too many failed logins, otherwise you'll lock the token.
