Renew VBA digital signature

Hi,
A year ago I done some VBA on some Word docs for a company. They wanted a digital signed certificate for the docs. So they bought one from some company and I installed it (somehow, I don't remember on my PC) and then went to VBA Editor >> Tools >> Digital Signatures >> Choose >> selected the cert >> OK.

The cert has now expired. They've contacted me saying 'we renewed it we were provided with a unique ID number that now needs to be embedded into the macros document.'

I don't know how to do this :-(
Anybody know what is involved?
Any help appreciated,

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
The company haven't mentioned receiving a new Certificate, just a unique ID number.
Is this an actual new Certificate? Is it possibe to renew a Certificate?
It sounded to me, from their correspondance, that the Certificate had been renewed and they wanted me to apply the unique ID to the outdated one.

Can you clear this up?

Thanks,

I'm not sure about that. I've always purchased the certificate myself, installed it on my machine, and used that cert to sign my projects. In general, that's the only way to sign a VBA project - the cert must be properly installed on your machine, and you must then sign the VBA project with that cert.
