Dont need code, just looking for overall strategy. while I never liked the idea of hardware locked activation, I dont see a viable alternative but would be great if there is one.

I emailed their support recently with a question which they have not answered. All I got was an auto-reply with a ticket number.

I am thinking I should just order directly from Comodo/Sectigo.

Do you have recent information about ksoftware?

The current release of my product is code signed, both installer and .exe inside it, but my 5 year cert expired (Comodo) and am evaluating the cost benefit of renewing, which is same as getting a new one, at least with Comodo they start you over from scratch. I am in USA and am incorporated in my state, so Comodo required a copy of my registration which has both company and my name and phone. They telephoned me with a couple basic questions. They also required I list my business a free online yellowpages business directory. That was it. Not too bad, but they stretched out their processing time line and were initially a bit misleading: at first they implied I had to go the dunn and bradstreet route, which is pricey, but when I objected they backed off.

What documents were you referring to regaring identity verification?

I should have mentioned that while purchased by some big companies, there is usually just one user so would not be worthwhile to set it up for remote installation. It is a very niche, specialized program.

So what does it take to get IT to approve software, particularly if no code signed installer? I was always a dev contractor so was never part of those decisions/policies.
