But there's no reason for an expired certificate to be treated like a 
problem. If software is signed on date X with a certificate that is 
valid on date X, when the certificate expires that doesn't go back in 
time and undo the validity of the signature. Unfortunately logic is 
not the strong suit of some programmers, and they treat software with 
an expired certificate the same way as software with no certificate.

We had this problem at my former employer. We had to make a new 
release, just so that we could distribute a version with an unexpired 
certificate.
