This Hotfix that allows your system to recognize the new certificate with SHA256. Once this hotfix is installed, the certificate must be installed. 
If you do not have an internet connection, run the attached rootsupd.exe, then reboot. If your system is on an isolated network, it should be updated with your certificate server. 

 

Missing .Net Framework:
Connect the control center PC to the internet and run Setup.exe from the Rimage Software Suite. Any .Net Framework resources that are missing will be downloaded and installed during the Riamge software installation. 

If you cannot connect the control center to the internet, download the .Net Framework install files from MicroSoft. The Rimage install requires 3.5.1 and 4.0.
