Greetings,

Everything we sign is timestamped.  This means anything we sign before 
21-June-2017 remains valid after the certificate expires. IE.  Your 
installs will not suddenly stop working on June-2017!

The June 2017 deadline simply means it's time to buy a new certificate 
if we want to continue to make changes to libusbK.sys and release NEW 
updates.

Regards,
Travis
