+.SH OTHER CODE SIGNING TECHNOLOGIES
+Assemblies are PE files that can also be strongnamed using the sn.exe tool. The 
+order of code signature is important if a file requires both an Authenticode 
+and a strongname signature. Strongname must be applied before the Authenticode 
+signature. Applying a strongname after the Authenticode signature, like 
+re-signing an assembly (e.g. delay-sign), will invalidate the Authenticode 
+signature.
+.SH KNOWN RESTRICTIONS
+signcode cannot generate Authenticode signatures for CAB files.
