Verify before installation

  1. Download your platform archive and its signature. Keep the original bytes.
  2. Download the checksum list, its signature, and public release certificate.
  3. Have your administrator confirm the expected certificate fingerprint through a previously trusted channel. A certificate included in the same download is not independent proof of trust.
  4. Follow Verify downloads to check the signed checksum list and archive signature.
  5. Compare your archive's SHA256 with the verified checksum list. Stop if a signature or hash fails.
  6. Extract the entire archive. Follow its INSTALL.md to verify the platform manifest, installer, executable and included files before running them.

The release uses detached RSA signatures with SHA256. Windows publisher files also have Authenticode signatures and timestamps. The RPM has no native OpenPGP signature.

Certificates are self signed. Follow your organisation's trust policy. Never disable signature checks or place a private signing key on the installation host.

Archive SHA256 reference

Compare these with the signed checksum list. A matching hash alone does not establish publisher identity.

Public certificate fingerprint reference

These are SHA256 fingerprints of the DER certificate file bytes. Confirm them independently before trusting a certificate.

Keep the matching instructions

Keep INSTALL.md, REGISTRATION.md, RELEASE-CANDIDATE.md, VALIDATION.json, and the public certificates with the extracted platform folder.

The current licence and privacy notice versions are rc1-20261012-v1. Preserve earlier acceptance receipts and the exact documents they reference.

Install a fresh evaluation copy

This same version rebuild is not a validated in place upgrade. Use separate program files, databases and evaluation data. Preserve an existing installation and its backups.

Follow Windows installation or Linux installation. Check the release validation limits before relying on a package.
