Hi All,

I am seeking a code sign vendor for the installer that built from InstallAware.

After searching IA forum, i found 3:
VeriSign
thawte
COMODO

I want to know which one you will suggest?
The choosing factor would be:
- fully compatible with IA (i am using IA 6.6 now)
- price (first time + renewal)
- popularity
- easy to apply
- support

The "fully compatible" i mean is that the key files, cert. etc provided by the code sign vendor can be directly read by IA.

Like the attached screen.
As I want to use the IA Code Sign tool to sign my setup package.

At InstallAware we use Comodo. Their certificates do not cost a fortune ;) But certificates from any vendor should work just fine, as long as you generate digital code signing certificates in spc and pvk pairs.

Any other users have suggestions?

I am looking more details on Comodo too. It seems that it is cheaper relatively and the web site is easy to do the registration.

Price is cheaper relatively. And also there's lots of guides in PDF really good and clear for beginners.
