send an email message to jde@rim.com.

Restrictions on code signatures
The BlackBerry® Signing Authority Tool administrator might place restrictions on your .csi file to limit your access to code
signatures. To request changes to these restrictions, contact your administrator.
.csi file restriction
number of requests
82
Description
This restriction specifies the maximum number of requests you can make using a
particular .csi file. When you reach the maximum number of requests, the .csi file
becomes invalid. To make new code signature requests, you must apply for a new .csi
file.
Although an administrator can permit an infinite number of requests, the number
of requests is often specified to be a finite number for security reasons.
