FYI, the result turns out to be that the old non-EV cert can be used to
sign a driver that is used for Win10 after Win10 RTM release. I built Npcap
0.03 r3 today and tested it against Win10 RTM x64, and it installs
successfully and runs well. It's a pity that I didn't buy a 3-year cert,
but the good new is that I can still use this old one for future releases.


Cheers,
Yang
