**5.**

A pop-up window will appear. Choose your certificate from the list and click **Continue.**

**CAUTION!** If this window doesn’t appear in this step and the software asks you to configure a new digital ID, this means that your computer can’t find your certificate. In this case, confirm that your certificate is properly installed on your computer or contact support@harica.gr.
