Author Topic: Licence missing! Paul H. Rayton Expert Film Handler Posts: 210 From: Los Angeles, CA , USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 09-29-2011 03:37 PM                    I'm encountering a somewhat similar situation, though not facing urgent loss of a show. I need to run, in about 2 weeks, and here in the US, a DCP coming from Spain. However, I'm not sure they understand the process completely there at the Spanish distributor offices. I sent them the "certificate" from the manufacturer (which, in this case was Quvis, and the file type was a .PEM file). They said that was the "wrong" file, and claim they couldn't do anything with it. Steve: any idea of the difference between a .CER and a .PEM file? Probably the fastest "fix" for me is to ditch the Quvis, but that's not presently an option!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-29-2011 05:39 PM                     Paul, I thought Qvis was pretty much a dead issue, didn't they shut down a couple years back? If Qvis did shut down at least a couple years or more ago it is very possible the folks in Spain have never encountered it... The Qvis web site is still up... but I haven't seen them at any shows...

If you try to open your .CEM file on a computer with a regular text editor (e.g. notepad on Windows), and it looks like this: -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIICMzCCAZwCAQAwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEEBQAwYjELMAkGA1UEBhMCVVMxETAPBgNV BAgTCE5ldyBZb3JrMRUwEwYDVQQHEwxQb3VnaGtlZXBzaWUxDDAKBgNVBAoTA0lC TTEMMAoGA1UECxMDVFBGMQ0wCwYDVQQDEwRFdmFuMB4XDTAxMDExNTE1MzQ1NloX DTAxMDIxNDE1MzQ1NlowYjELMAkGA1UEBhMCVVMxETAPBgNVBAgTCE5ldyBZb3Jr MRUwEwYDVQQHEwxQb3VnaGtlZXBzaWUxDDAKBgNVBAoTA0lCTTEMMAoGA1UECxMD VFBGMQ0wCwYDVQQDEwRFdmFuMIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCn kt1reFpFaWnDkfgFplUVjPzZdWhhJoDODNxg3VX57whCEBAcCxRqSgoIZEJResd4 7i4MHhd1tKNGyHn7oiMROk/wDqyx1CMyqiVXzwiaUNSIc7aXJGqf+UPY/dsq93RC 2OY28rT++uMLTzWgU+4mMdyHfY7HLoANMaHLJnOjZwIDAQABMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEB BAUAA4GBAFyoM6fKGRkMTD2IiCLaLgMUwm5fOOXWADbiD51gP2jiOwbTUZsvsKWK SF7gCu7ipnQqh8YBKRDCjkk7Chg3Wt3ymmVCHArJ3KhwJ4K4M/Nfwl7EfMXyuK1q k7XnaLh9kiwVSuwKyAVsNjKTPHMPED9wUiAUiUoWXSYYWRSnG+LL -----END CERTIFICATE----- Then you can just rename it to .PEM and try sending it to them. If not, then it's possible to encode the binary file into the PEM format so that they are comfortable with it.  |  IP: Logged
