Microsoft has ended the ability to cross-sign drivers. Cross-signing of drivers is required by any Windows 64-bit OS prior to Windows 10. If a driver is not signed, Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 will not trust the driver and, as a result, will not load it. Starting with the V7.1.2 version the acontis Windows Real-time Hypervisor products will not support the 64 Bit versions of Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1.
