Updater of epic launcher using a certificate that was valid up to feb 2018

Hi,

I recently download Unreal Studio enterprise and installed the launcher. After installation, it started downloading some update. After the download was complete, the setup wanted to launch and UAC (User Access control) prompt popped up. I wasn’t able to take a screenshot as UAC prompt doesn’t allow any sort of interaction apart from “Yes”/“no” but one thing that caught my eye was that the “valid to” date on the certificate of that update was in Feb 2018.

I was wondering: why is the updater of epic launcher not using some up-to-date certificate?

The certificate with the launcher is valid up to some month in 2021 (if i remember correctly). But the updater is using some old certificate which was valid up to Feb 2018.

LauncherPrereqSetup_x64.exe in the program file(x86) is using a certificate issued by Symantec to Epic Games. The certificate is valid from: 26th of January 2015 to 25th of February 2018.
