Microsoft Windows Hardware Developer Program
Dear all,
I am writing this because I just created a new startup together with my co-founder, where we are developing a new kind of software to secure transactions in digital assets with. Long story short, we have a driver that needs to be signed, but it is our first time doing so & are looking for accurate info from someone who has experience with it.
Would you be so kind & help us answer the following questions:
- Do you know how long it takes to get your EV certificate?
- Do you know how long it takes the Microsoft Hardware Developer Program to sign your driver?
- Does the latter cost you anything?
Thanks a million in advance,
MJ
- The EV certificate is very easy to obtain. You can get it by paying money, but you can't use it because Microsoft needs to submit the driver to its partners, and you can't successfully register for it. But the magic is that you can solve it by spending money, and it still works. No EV certificate is required.
