This modification will have an impact: the following browsers won't be compatible anymore:
- Netscape 4.5 - 4.76
- AOL 5 - 6
- Opera 5 - 7.54
- J2RE (uonly the browser)
The users of certificates with mobile phones, PDA, Pocket PC... will also be affected, mobile devices have much less roots than browsers.
when renewing your certificate, you will be asked to choose between our product or a Comodo one issued on the GTE CyberTrust Global root. If you need this root, then choose the Comodo. You can also order directly this kind of certificate.
If you have any doubt, order a free test certificate.
The already issued certificates will work normally until their expiration.
