Windows 7 no longer receives updates, so it cannot receive the latest code signing certificate for GoldWave. Does your Windows 7 computer have a connection to the internet?

hi
it did not happen with 6.55
i have installed on computer at work (creating a portable version), and for security it's not connected to the net and it could not connected
to run under w7 is the only way to connect to the net?
and from internet where does it store the signing certificate ?
by the way could be extended windows 7 updates , and many laptop does still run w7
thanks

GoldWave's code signing certificate had to be renewed this year. GoldWave v6.55 was signed with the older certificate. That means that access to the internet will be required to obtain the new certificate details from the certificate authority. We are looking into alternatives for older systems.

OK, but that means 6.56 requires an Internet access !? :shock:
Sorry but my firewall is only open to Firefox, Thunderbird or others program really using Internet... :mrgreen:

GoldWave does not require internet access. Windows requires internet access to update the certificates. It is possible that Windows 7 isn't capable of supporting the new certificate. Would be interested to hear from other Windows 7 users if they are not having this issue.

For what it's worth, 6.56 works just fine on Win7 x64 (both with and without an explicit outbound firewall rule set on the .exe, to test). 8)

I don't know, but I use a lot of programs since ages, and it's the first time I see that... :shock:
