I need to buy a signature key?

Hello

I am a new beginner in BB app development, I have some questions on the key issues of signature. Grateful if you could help me.

1. When should I buy a signature key?

2. If I want to deploy my application on a BB device to test, do I need to sign the app?

3. the signature key have expiration date?

Thank you

1. When should I buy a signature key?

Whenever you use a RIM API, which requires a signature key. I guess you can write a MIDP application that did not use the API of the RIM.

2. If I want to deploy my application on a BB device to test, do I need to sign the app?

If you use a RIM API, which requires a signature key, Yes. But you don't need to sign the app if you test using the Simulator.

3. the signature key have expiration date?

He can do it, but I doubt you would need to worry about expiring.

To really harness the power of the device, you will need to use RIM API so might as well invest in the keys.

    Hey, Larry. You're confusing threads with messages! Yes, your two posts in this thread are new (obviously), but you were responding to Carey who responded to you when you made your initial post on 16 January. These positions were nine months ago.

    In any case, if you did replace a hard drive, you don't have a new license or product key!

    If a person returned frequently, he or she will receive a message asking them to call a phone number. If this is your situation, just do it and follow the instructions.

    It will be something like this:

    Hello

    You can simply get all of the keyboard.
    As far as I know it is not possible to replace the key on the keyboard of course you can remove the cap of the key, but if you have some mechanical issues, the replacement of the cap does not help you then you need the keyboard and compatible parts can be ordered from Toshiba service in your country.

  • Is my Windows my product key license? Also, if I want to download the iso of Windows 7 yes I need to buy a license/product key of Windows 7?

    Is my Windows my product key license? Also, if I want to download the iso of Windows 7 yes I need to buy a license/product key of Windows 7? Or my Windows 10 will work?

    Your license is the product key.

    You don't need to buy a license if you already have a product key.

    Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

    Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:

  • I need admin assistance. The key signature order form must be set.

    Hello

    I'm at a point where it was the only place where I could ask for help and I'm hoping an admin can get this info from one who can resolve the issue. I'll explain why, after I mention the problem.

    I encountered a problem on the order of signature keys that prevents me to fill.

    Here is the page;

    https://www.BlackBerry.com/SignedKeys/

    The "State/Province/region:" drop-down menu contains no value, and it is a required field, so there is no way to fill in the form.

    The reason why I'm writing this question here in the forums, is because Blackberry Website feedback link "[email protected]," which is located under the Contact section, is seeking an automated response that has absolutely nothing to do with your real comments, but suppose instead I'm a technical person supports.

    in any case, I hope that is the right eyes and I was clear.  I have my Playbook, I have the SDK installed under Flash Builder, so now I just need chips so I can test directly on the device.

  • Cannot connect widget - unable to find signature keys

    About 1 year ago, I installed Eclipse and plugin BB to develop java applications of BB. I had bought and installed signature keys and was able to sign the apps very well at the time.

    Then, I want to write a 'widget' using the new (for me) web plugin for eclipse. The only way I could get that work was by installing the all-in-one "BlackBerry Web plug-in in Eclipse" (the package that has the correct version of eclipse plugin extension). The only problem is that I can't sign widgets.

    So, in summary, I have two versions of Eclipse on my computer:

    1. a version with the blackberry java plug-in for making java applications (that I could sign)

    2. the version with the blackberry widget plugin to make apps widget (I can not sign)

    The error I get from the BlackBerry Web/Widget to eclipse version when I try to sign my widget is:

    Cannot connect widget - unable to find signature keys

    Do I need to import the key somehow (wherever they are) of the old version of Eclipse for the 'new' or perhaps reinstall?

    Or even buy them?

    Note: I still have the original files of .csi 3 If this is useful

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated...

    Thank you for your response. I had sent dev support and received the following response (which is essentially the same thing you said):

    Please contact BlackBerry Application Development Support.

    When you install your signing keys, first they are only registered with a JDE 1. Specifically, most recently installed JDE on your machine. Following these steps, you should be able to activate the privileges of your signature for all d located on your computer:

    (1) locate your signing keys by searching your computer for sigtool.db. You can find several files of sigtool.db, but you are looking for the sigtool.db that, if opened with a text editor, you see references to all three signatories (RBB, RRT and CPR) as follows:

    #The file of database containing information to request signatures.
    #[DATE]
    RBB = [CLIENT_ID] http\: / /www.rim.net/Websigner/servlet/BBApps
    RRT = [CLIENT_ID] http\: / /www.rim.net/Websigner/servlet/Runtime
    CPR = [CLIENT_ID] http\: / /www.rim.net/Websigner/servlet/CryptoRIM

    You can find this file, go to the next step if we can deliver a set of replacement of signature keys, free of charge.

    (2) COPY the 4 following four files in the same folder as you find the sigtool.db file in:
    -sigtool.db
    -sigtool.set (if this file does not exist, it is good to ignore it).
    -sigtool.csk
    -SignatureTool.jar

    (3) If you are using Eclipse 3.5.1 or more, there is a shared folder where you can PASTE your signature files, by default:
    C:\Program Files\Eclipse\plugins\net.rim.ejde\vmTools

    If the vmTools folder does not exist, you will need to PASTE the 4 four files for each component pack individually, by default:
    C:\Program Files\Eclipse\plugins\net.rim.ejde.componentpackx.x.x_x.x.x.x\components\bin (where x.x.x_x.x.x.x is the version of the component Pack.)

    If you use BlackBerry JDE, please note that there is no shared folder. You will need to associate each individual JDE with the privileges of your signature and PASTE the files in each associated BIN folder:
    C:\Program Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE x.x.x\bin (being the JDE version x.x.x.)

    Finally, if you are using BlackBerry Widgets, you can PASTE the files in the next BIN folder, by default:
    C:\Program search in Motion\BlackBerry Widget Packager\bin

    By copying the files of four 4 and sticking them in the BIN of your d files, you copy your signature to these can thus privileges. Please note that this approach will allow the privileges of signature for all on a 1 d machine, but will not work for d on other machines; signature keys cannot be installed on 1 machine.

    If you have any questions about the process described above, feel free to contact me.

  • Relocation of signature keys

    Hello

    I started to learn how to develop widgets for the Blackberry and I need signature keys. 1 year ago, I bought the keys and installed on my laptop but now I after reinstall the Sagna to my laptop I can install new signature keys and I can't remember the PIN number I have provided.

    RIM will give me the PIN number and allows me to install signature keys again or I have to buy again?

    Thank you

    RIM gave me once again the keys without charge in 1 day of my request.

    I'm pretty happy with the level of service.

  • Signature keys and code updates - bugs fixed and improvements

    Apologies if I put this thread in a wrong forum. Please feel free to move.

    I have a few questions about code signing and approval of the request and I would be really grateful to anyone who could please help me with that.

    1. I bought a single set of keys to sign my .cod files to deploy the portable device of code signing. Should I get an authorization from RIM or BB to deploy my application on a device in the following cases - i) if I want to use BB App store, ii) if I don't want to use BB App store and load the application manually from a PC, iii) if I want to use another installation for deployment outside BB OTA.

    2. for updates in my current application for example bug corrections or improvements, I needed to buy a new set of keys for code signing or those I bought previously would do the job (assuming that I sign my files from the same workstation COD).

    3. If the old code signing keys would be sufficient for the same application, but with some bug fixes and improvements, what all would I need to update either in my camera (if the application is deployed on the device) or on the BB App store.

    4. what happens to jar files? I also need to load jar files in my handheld device to run the application? If so, then I need to update the jar files in the event of bug fixes?

    Please help me on the above questions because my project is in a very critical stage now. I will be really grateful.

    Thanks in advance a ton.

    Your set of keys (files *.csi and sigtool.*) can be used for unlimited applications and for unlimited signatures.

    There is no limitation for you.

    Just make a backup of your key (*.csi and sigtool.* files) and restore JDE/bin folder when necessary.

    This means that all the files of new/updated cod to date could be signed with the same key set?

    You can use the keys that you have already bought for new and updated and you want cod files.

    There is no need to buy these keys again.

  • How can I activate windows without having to buy another product key?

    Windows says that the product key for my pc is already in use. I don't have another and I don't want to buy one because I have bouht windows. What should I do?

    Hello DCM1,.

    You don't need to buy another key, simply activate by phone. See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

    The telephone activation line is automated. You will be asked to press 1 to xxx etc. Do not press any key. By not pressing any key you should be transferred to a real person, and that person should be able to help to activate your copy of Vista. Just explain what happened.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

    If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.
