Driver Signing for Windows

Windows drivers and system files include Microsoft digital signatures. These signatures confirm the files were tested and remain unaltered. Cencon USB KeyBox drivers are digitally signed and certified by Kaba Mas for Windows 7 and approved hardware.

Windows protects drivers and system files using:

• Windows File Protection
• System File Checker
• File Signature Verification

HCL

The Microsoft Windows Catalog (HCL) lists hardware tested for Windows compatibility. Check the catalog before installing Windows. Kaba Mas can assist with troubleshooting non-HCL hardware, but resolution is not guaranteed. Professional support rates apply.

BIOS

• Do not update the BIOS if the system runs correctly.
• Do not update the BIOS if the patch does not address your current problem.
• An unsuccessful BIOS flash may prevent the system from booting. Kaba Mas is not responsible for BIOS failures.
