Score! I just got a free Adobe AIR code signing certificate from Thawte. Adobe is giving out 125 of these to the first people who upload to the new Adobe Air Marketplace.

This is a $300 value, and it is good thinking by Adobe, because while I enjoy making free apps for AIR, I wouldn’t have spent the money on the cert otherwise.

Warning, this only works if you have a company to associate the cert with. You can’t get one without a company. That’s why everyone should have at least a solo company set up at all times. It gives you freedom to do a lot of stuff closed to the rank-and-file.
