How to sign the application via the OnLine-service SymbianSigned in the absence of a personal certificate
A certificate is an electronic document that gives the right to applications to be applied (installed) in the environment of Symbian OS9.x for a specific end user. The document puts forward certain requirements for software developers, depending on the development of operating systems and hardware Nokia, which forms a standard condition for determining the period of use - the validity of the certificate. The certificate contains information identifying the holder (the company Symbian), from which the certificate is issued. It is published by the certification centers and issued by Symbian.
