Plugin certification and installation
Plugin certification
All CopySafe Web plugins have been signed using Microsoft
Authenticode. Both the plugins that are installed and
their respective installers have been signed. If you are
providing the plugin downloads from your own web site, you
need to maintain that they are current (have not expired).
To check their expiry date, view the plugin's installer
locally (on your own computer) using File Explorer and
highlight the file to right-click and select "Properties".
You should see a tab for "Digital Signature"... check the
certificate's expiry date.
Plugin downloads
Plugin downloads are provided to your visitor's for
free from our download servers, however we do invite you
to provide the downloads from your own web site and will
provide whatever support is needed. Providing the
downloads from your own web site may has many advantages:
- Maintain that the plugin version matches your web
pages
- Faster downloads from servers closer to your
audience
- Customize the installers or sign with your own
certificate
- Restrict the browser/versions that can view your
protected content
The latest set of plugin installers can be downloaded
here (current version) and includes:
- Current installers for Mozilla type web browsers
- Current installers for Internet Explorer
- Current csi.js files and documentation
- Current updates for your CopySafe software
- Current samples for html and ASP examples
- Current documentation for visitor help files
Plugin installation
Automatic installation via the user's web browser is
recommended to ensure that the plugins are installed in
the correct location for the browser in use. When a
visitor loads your protected page, their web browser is
checked for the current version of the plugin, and if it
is not detected or needs to be upgraded, they are
redirected to the appropriate download page.
Plugin removal
The plugin can be removed from the
Windows "Control Panel" by using "Add/remove programs"...
remove "CopySafe". Note: if you remove "CopySafe
Web"
you will delete your CopySafe Web software program!
Plugin versatility
When the Mozilla type plugin is installed, it becomes
available to all Mozilla web browsers that are supported
by CopySafe. For example if the plugin is installed into
Firefox, the same plugin will be used when viewing with
Netscape Navigator and vice versa.
Each installer will ensure that the components are
installed correctly.
