PLEASE NOTE:
Once you submit this reissue your current certificate will be revoked and will be placed on the Certificate revocation list. This means that if your signed code (Microsoft) is not timestamped you will receive a certificate revocation warning when running the code. Therefore, you will need to re-sign and redeploy all your code with this reissued certificate. For more information on timestamping please visit: SO2159
