Hello,
The transfer has been made; we are now running the new system! Please find below some more information about the changes which have happened!
Regards,
Symbian Signed team
What has changed?
1. The user interface has changed quite a bit. Our hope is that the changes are for the best.
2. For anyone submitting to Express Signed or Certified Signed and using more than 10 IMEIs with Development Certificates the account needs to be Verified.
-The verification happens by submitting a SIS file which has been signed with your Publisher ID to the portal (look for the "Verify Account" link at the top of the page, through the link you can also download a SIS to use with the verification)
-The portal will check that your Publisher ID is valid
-The portal will write the company name from the Publisher ID to your account's company information
-You can only use the same Publisher ID for one account.
-If problems, remember to check that you have selected the right Country at "My Profile"
3. The Development Certificates are now tied to IMEIs and UIDs defined in your account. The need to define the capabilities has been removed totally. Now the capability access depends on your account type:
-Unverified account can access: LocalServices, ReadUserData, WriteUserData, NetworkServices, UserEnvironment, Location, SwEvent, ProtServ, TrustedUI, PowerMgmt, SurroundingsDD, ReadDeviceData and WriteDeviceData
-Verified account can access the same ones as unverified and CommDD, DiskAdmin, MultimediaDD and NetworkControl
-Both accounts can either submit the SIS file to be signed or download the key and cer for local signing.
4. Submissions to Certified Signed and Express Signed are tied to:
-The Publisher ID you used to verify your account
-The UIDs your account has registered
-We have built a list of "white labeled" UIDs so you can use Smart Installer and other interesting common components with your applications.
5. Your UIDs
-Your UIDs will be brought from the previous system to the new side
-There is one limitation: if you had identified IMEIs with specific notes, those notes will not be transferred in the first phase. We are working on to get them transferred later on.
6. Existing privileges and channel access
-Your existing capability privileges and manufacturer channel accesses are transferred to the new site and should be accessible immediately after verifying your account with a valid publisher ID.
