See more Code Signing Examples

Demonstrates how to Authenticode sign an EXE or DLL.

Note: Chilkat's code signing class was added in v9.5.0.97

  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  // First create the following JSON to specify that SHA256 is to be used,
  // and provide timestamp server information.
