Solution

  1. The SafeNet drivers allow you to enable code signer authentication. Once enabled, SafeNet pops up before you sign code and requires you to enter your password to verify that you are the actual signer.

    Drivers Note: You will need to install the SafeNet drivers and client software on any computer from which you want to use your EV Code Signing Certificate token to sign code.
