Code signing and Timestamp Server Error

$

Warning: I’ve got exactly 2 days experience with AIR but a client wants to add file IO capabilites to a touchscreen/Flash application we developed and AIR seems to be our only choice.

From CS4 I can publish an AIR 1.5 application with a self signed code certificate but I get the error “Could not connect to timestamp server”, I can then disable the timestamp and get the warning: “If the AIR application is not timestamped, it will fail to install when the digital certificate expires. Are you sure you want to disable timestamping?” I can proceed without the timestamp and everything seems to work.

So I’m wondering, when does my certificate expire? I think I might have read 5 years. What do my clients do if they have to reinstall the application after 5 years? Make them pay for another copy ;-) Lastly, how do I avoid the timestamp error? Sign up with a CA like VeriSign at $500/yr, not gonna happen for just one client.

Sorry to sound a little testy but I could have written exactly the same application in Director and not had to worry about this code signing business.
