About Signing AAX in EDEN tools...

[resonant]

Hi,
Does anyone know about digital signing of AAX plugins;

1. Is self-signed certificate sufficient for signing AAX plugins?
2. If self-signed certificate used, manual says plugins won't have "Platform Compliance". What does "Platform Compliance" mean, and what is the disadvantages?

[Dan Korneff]

I'm about to travel down this road as well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe self signing will only allow your plugin to work with a special version of ProTools. For testing purposes only.

Ask their support. They are super secretive about it so you won't get any information elsewhere.

@christoph-hart I understand. I think it's about PACE's NDA. I will ask them, thanks.

So should we code sign the HISE exported aax plugin or autogenerated juce file?

Ask their support. They are super secretive about it so you won't get any information elsewhere.

Ok

At last. After spending about 2 weeks (I didn't know cmd even) and approximately 30 emails, AAX plugin design and digital signing on Windows is done :) Thank God :)

@orange Whole process took 5 days for me

@remarkablex I am trying to get this done now , both on pc and mac , If anyone is willing to help me via pm that would be very helpful. Or plugin is ready and I have the Pace tools but this seems quite complicated to me.

In fact when running the CMD it goes by so fast that I cannot see what its doing and a new file is not created.
Bit lost to be honest and havent even started the Mac part...

@lalalandsynth I had a similar issue with the new M1 SDK and it turns out the command now requires the --out „filename” flag at the end, so maybe that’s that? I can send you the line I’m using tomorrow when I’m at the studio if that would be of some help

@tomekslesicki would love a hand on this too :grinning_squinting_face:

If anyone can pm me an example of what to put into Terminal on OSX that would be awesome!

[lalalandsynth]

@DanH Its in the manual , in fact my problem was that I wrote the text in text editor and then copied into terminal.
Never got it to work until I wrote it into the terminal itself.

[DanH]

@lalalandsynth yup I’ve got the example they supplied, but I’m not putting in my account info properly. Can I dm you?

[lalalandsynth]

@DanH Sure , I am not in front of my computer but maybe I can help.
