The new BNotK Card will be in Sign Live! C.C.C supported from version 7.1.11.

In the future, the Federal Chamber of Notaries will issue its signature certificates via the remote signature service and no longer via a personal one Signature card provide.
Authentication for signature creation at the remote signature service is carried out using personal means Smart Card.

This requires a completely new approach to signature creation. This signature is not created using the signature device “signIT smartcard CC” but via “signIT BNotK”. When signing, please select the appropriate signature device in the signature assistant. If your signature certificate is not available, please contact the Federal Chamber of Notaries’ support.

If you use a Reiner SCT card reader with an RFID function, be sure to switch off the RFID function so that there are no problems reading the authentication certificate that is on your card.

If you Sign Live! C.C.C from a specialist application, please inquire with the manufacturer whether the new signature device has been connected.  

When assigning individual PINs, it is permissible to assign a PIN with more than 8 characters.
When changing the PIN, the new PIN must have the same number of characters as the “old” PIN or more characters. The BNotK card does not allow a change from a 9-digit PIN to an 8-digit PIN, for example.

In Sign Live! C.C.C up to Version 7.1.11.1, a maximum of 8 characters can be entered during the signature process with a BNotK card.

Solution:
With update from Sign Live! C.C.C on the version 7.1.11.2 is a PIN entry from up to 16 characters is possible.
