Validating Installer
Ensure the Installation Download is Valid
 |
Code signing adds a digital signature to executables at the time of creation so users can verify the author's identity and ensure that the application's integrity has not been compromised. Only download executables from trusted vendor websites or distributors and verify the installation has not been altered by ensuring the checksum/SHA of the file matches the original published by the vendor (for example, with tools such as certutil, sha256sum, or cksum).

Kepware follows security best practices and signs executables. In addition, the checksum values are provided to allow users to verify before installing.
Follow the instructions below to verify Kepware checksums.
1. Open a command prompt.
2. Run the following command: certutil -hashfile <path/to/file> SHA256.
3. Compare the resulting hash to the checksum provided by the storage endpoint (ec/core/storage/download).

If a checksum does not match, contact Support using the Case Logger.
