<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">Last year, Microsoft announced that, effective January 10, 2017, all Windows products would stop accepting as valid SHA-1 certificates issued from publicly-trusted CAs. Many of our partners
 in the industry told us that, because of the end of the year holiday lockdown periods, a January date was effectively a November date. Because of this, Microsoft has reconsidered it’s position, and we have decided to move the effective date of the SHA-1 deprecation
 to <b>Tuesday, February 14, 2017</b>.  Please see <a href="http://aka.ms/sha1">http://aka.ms/sha1</a> for more information.
