ID

Description

1278599

All binaries (DLLs, EXEs, and installer scripts) are now digitally signed using an updated code-signing certificate issued to Casepoint LLC.

This change ensures continued compliance with security best practices and may result in a different publisher name appearing in file properties or installation prompts.

There are no functional changes to the application as a result of this update.

  • Previous Publisher Name: AINS, LLC

  • New Publisher Name: Casepoint, LLC

  • Impacted Artifacts: Application DLLs, EXEs, installer script files

  • Reason for Change: Security best practices and alignment with Casepoint signing infrastructure

Note: If your IT policies or tools verify digital signatures or publisher names, you may need to update your allow lists or validation rules accordingly.
