2.70. "Microsoft Excel has identified a potential security concern."
When I try to launch Palisade software, I get a popup saying
Microsoft Excel has identified a potential security concern.
Note: The digital signature is valid, but the signature is from a publisher whom you have not yet chosen to trust.
This popup appears because you have the AutomationSecurity policy set to 2 rather than the normal value of 1, which is recommended by Microsoft.
Without changing that policy, you can simply click Trust all from publisher in the dialog.
You know this is safe, because our code was signed with a certificate valid at the time of signing. And you know the code has not been changed since then, or you would get a message telling you that.
