I am using most of the code from this project:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/winsock_revamped.aspx

"Winsock Revamped" By Chris Kolkman | 24 Jun 2008

I notice this file in the project:

"Chatter Client_TemporaryKey.pfx"

Does this mean my code is going to stop working on some random day in the future when this temp key expires?

If so, how can I avoid this?

thanks

The TemporaryKey file allows your program to run the install as an elevated user - ie not a general user.

If you register, then the program installs without/or with minimal security warnings. When it expires the install will ask the user 'are you sure you want to do this'.

The temporary key lets it run on your desktop - without asking you every time 'are you sure'

Thats the simple gist. I may be wrong in some areas but Microsoft's web site will answer in detail.

No, it doesn't. A certificate is NOT a licensing scheme. Just because the certificate expires does not mean the code stops running.

When a certificate expires, you cannot sign anything with it.
