3.1  Driver signing 

 
The driver software is digitally signed by Kvaser to assure its integrity and identity. 
 
In  Windows  Vista,  a  window  similar  to  the  following  will  be  displayed  two  times  during  the 
installation. 
 

 

 
When it appears, click the 

Install

 button. If you check the 

Always trust software from “Kvaser 

AB”

  box  first,  the  operating  system  will  not  ask  you  further  questions  of  this  type  when  you 

install software from Kvaser. 
 
If you are a system administrator and want to prevent this message to appear, you can install 
Kvaser’s software signing certificate in the computer’s certificate store. In a Windows domain, 
you can use a GPO to deploy the certificate to computers on the network.
