SUMMARY

Presagis provides a MD5 hash (or checksum) for product downloads. This article shows how to verify the checksum, as to determine whether a file was downloaded successfully, or was corrupted.

DETAILS

Before you start, you will need to download a Checksum Verifier such as WinMD5Free (with User Interfacel), or Microsoft FCIV (command line tool).

Using WinMD5 Free

1. Start WinMD5.exe
   

   

   
    
2. Click Browse, select the downloaded file, then click Open.
   

   

   
    
3. Visit Presagis' download page, and Copy the original MD5 hash
   

   

   
    
4. Paste (CTRL+V) the original MD5 hash in WinMD5Free, and click Verify.
   The verification result will appear in a pop-up window.
