How to create a verified click once install certificate

$

I created my own, but it says Unknown publisher and gives the warning message.  I think this is as expected because I need to get a certificate from Verisign or someone like that.  So my question is, if I use my self generated one for say 1 year and then I buy a real one from Verisign, what will the user have to do when I change to a real certificate?  Will the user have to uninstall the wpf program with the old cert and then re-install?  I'm just wondering if I can go with the one I created for a while until enough people complain, or should I just get it over with verify it.

Also, for windows 8, I get a 'Windows protected your PC' thing pop up when I try to use my own cert.  I have to click more info, and run anyway to install it.  Seems like I'll have to get a real cert to make that go away.

Also on the renewals, it's only for up to 3 years.  If I renew after 3 years, will the customer have to un-install and re-install for updates in WPF.  I think in Silverlight OOB, renewals won't work.  I'm guessing for WPF it will.  I just don't want interuptions.  For the cert that I created, I put 99 years, so I don't have to deal with that.  Anyone have experience with this?

So the real certificate I would want, would be the one below?  Can I use this same one for all my silverlight lob apps too? How many WPF apps could I use this on?  Or do I need to get a different cert for every program?  Also, some of my click once installs will be internal with the same domain.  I install on various customers servers.  Then I also want the WPF click once hosted on an external site for other customers.
