Versions:
eIDSigner.Launcher 1.2.0.0, published by Vanden Broele, is a Windows utility that enables citizens and professionals to apply legally binding electronic signatures through their browser by leveraging the Belgian eID card and its embedded certificates. Positioned within the Security & Digital Signature category, the application acts as a lightweight bridge between web-based signing portals and the locally connected card reader, translating browser requests into PKCS#11 commands that unlock the private key stored on the chip. Typical use cases include signing government forms, approving invoices on Flemish e-portals, validating university enrollment documents, and countersigning HR contracts without leaving the browser environment. Because the launcher is invoked only when a website calls the native eID middleware, it keeps system footprint minimal while still supporting all mainstream engines such as Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. Version 1.2.0.0 is the first public release, offering out-of-the-box compatibility with Windows 10 and 11, automatic detection of connected readers, and fallback to the legacy eID middleware when the newer BEID 5 stack is absent. Enterprise administrators can silently deploy the 1.2.0.0 MSI through group policy, ensuring every workstation is ready for qualified signatures without additional configuration. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
