DigiCert​​®​​ Click-to-sign

DigiCert Click-to-sign is a DigiCert​​®​​ KeyLocker client tool that provides Windows 10 or Windows 11 customers with a simple UI-based signing workflow that does not require use of the DigiCert​​®​​ KeyLocker command line interface. After you specify your signing preferences in the DigiCert Click-to-sign installation wizard, you simply need to right-click on a file or folder to sign.

Note

These client tools must be stored in the C:\Program Files\DigiCert\DigiCert KeyLocker Tools\ folder to be used by DigiCert Click-to-sign.
