NB! We have replaced the Open-eID package with the Web eID package, and the previously installed Open-eID plug-in package must be manually uninstalled from the computer. Removing the previous package is important because online signing with an ID card does not work if the computer has the Open-eID plug-in package installed, which includes the Token Signing extension in addition to the Web eID package.
