Question VS2010 Re-sign ClickOnce manifests

[gchq]

Hi there

We have a ClickOnce application deployed that is currently using a Test Certificate...

I have just noticed that this certificate expires on 31 October - sigh...

The question is - can I simply just click 'Create Test Certificate' once again to gain another 12 months, or is there some hidden peril to this course of action?

Thanks

The short answer is yes. This article explains things in greater detail: Certificate Expiration in ClickOnce Deployment

Thanks John

Oddly enough I stumbled upon the same 'go bask in the sun if you deploy to .NET 4.0' link late on last night and tried it... Now the app has two keys, one shortly to be expired - so I will check it all out on the 1st and hopefully all will be well.

I think my worry stemmed from all the issues that went with .NET 2.0

Thank you for replying
