Certificate errors and expired certificate errors are an extreme annoyance, for novices and mobile veterans a-like. Most people are not sure how to fix this or even what it means. The two issues are two completely different issues and should be treated as such; however we have the answer to both issues.
If you need help fixing a certificate error or an expired certificate error on your Nokia N8 then look no further, everything you need to is explained within this article.
Expired Certificate Error
An expired certificate error occurs when an application or theme is over 6 months old and its’ certificate has expired; certificates will only last for 6 months from the date of issue. To solve this issue you simply need to set the date on your Nokia N8 to 1 year prior to the current date – then install the troublesome item and then put your date back to how it was before installing. That’s it, you should now be able to successfully run what you wanted to.
If you need help with a certificate error, which is a different issue all together than the expired certificate error as explained above then check out our Nokia N8 Certificate Error article.

I did exactly what you said above but the problem ( certificate error ) not fix
Admin note: Certificate errors and expired certificate errors are different, if you want to find a fix for just the certificate error and not expired certificate error, then please see the link contained within this article, that should fix the issue.
certificate error does does pop up even if you selected ‘software installation all & online certificate check off’ so please remove your comment or place a new one based on new phones because now its like you’re ignoring our help request with this not working comment of yours… Please try to develop help by testing all the phone made from 2009 till recent

I tried 2 install avatar Hd game to my N8. Bt it shows ” Cetificate error. Contact the application supplier ” Why is that ?
I tried this on a Nokia N8 trying to install DEdit (apparently the best text editor for Symbian if you want to open and search big files).
Simply changing the date on my phone to a month or so after the sis file creation date didn’t work initially. Until I restarted the phone after which the very same sis file installed fine and I got an application icon.
Unfortunately the application didn’t run in Symbian ^3 but hopefully the workaround will help others on the installation front.
