Revoke a code signing certificate
Revoke a Code Signing or EV Code Signing certificate if it is no longer needed, the hardware token has been lost, or the private key has been compromised. Revoking a certificate cannot be undone.
Important
Revoking a code signing or EV code signing certificate invalidates all code signed by that certificate, including timestamped signatures. Users downloading that software may see a trust warning. To ensure your code remains trusted, resign all code signed by the revoked certificate using a valid certificate.
The certificate revocation process works as follows:
Submit a request to revoke the certificate.
A CertCentral administrator approves the revocation request.
DigiCert revokes the certificate.
