Signing the code for the Spotfire extension
Spotfire extensions must be signed with a strong name key to be eligible for deployment on a Spotfire® Server. The Spotfire Extension Project Template contains a default key that is used by default to sign the extension during debugging; however, you should change this key before you build a Release version of your extension and deploy it to Spotfire Server.
