(Right click on Floating License Manager exe -> Properties -> Digital Certificate

It should look like below(If the digital signature is not OK, it could be the root certificate is not valid, a way to confirm is not a corrupted file is by opening checking the file on another PC):

Symantec certificate shows that this cert is issued by Verisign. (control panel -> internet options -> Content -> Certificates -> Intermediate Certificate Authority)
