Does anyone know anything about it.
It appears a new version of WE is to be released shortly, along with
other Ai Squared products, to fix the problem.

CertificateFix
January 16, 2017: Urgent Notification
Forthcoming Startup Failures in ZoomText 10.1 and other Ai Squared
Software Products
Problem
The digital certificate used to certify newer ZoomText and Window-Eyes
software products has been compromised. As a result, our certificate
will be revoked on or around January 26th, which will result in startup
failures for the following Ai Squared products.
Affected Ai Squared Software Products
When attempting to start the following Ai Squared software products, the
product will fail to launch and display a Windows error message: “A
referral was returned from the server”

Window-Eyes v9.5 – Build numbers 9.5.1 and 9.5.3
When attempting to start the following Ai Squared software products, the
product may launch even though the certificate has been revoked.
Anti-virus utilities may detect the invalid certificate and block the
software from running.
ZoomText ImageReader v1.2 – Build numbers 1.2.16106
ZoomText Voices (language packs) v1.0 – Build numbers 1.0.1.4693
Vocalizer Expressive v1.3 (for Windows-Eyes) – Build numbers 1.3.0.13329
Note: Inspection of the certificate will show that the certificate is
invalid. Inspection and validation of certificates is a process
performed by some organizations.

digital signature will be released and available for download prior to

Warning When Disabling Security Options
Various websites provide steps for disabling Windows security options
with the expectation that unsigned software executables will start and
run. Disabling these security options will not fix these problems for
the ZoomText and Windows-Eyes products and may compromise security and
protection from malware. Ai Squared strongly recommends against
disabling these security options.
Conclusion
We apologize for the inconvenience this issue has caused you, but assure
you we are doing everything possible to rectify this matter as soon as
possible. To minimize downtime, we encourage you to update your software
as soon as possible.
