How to verify the checksum of a downloaded file



For our software we display the checksum for the file that you wish to download. Can run a check once you downloaded the file, to make sure that it's content was not compromised. Depending on what operating system you are using, once you have downloaded the required file you can compute a hash of it.

Windows

The SHA265 hash can be found next to the download file in our download area:
