Verify the Data Center Expert installer MD5 or SHA1 checksum on a Windows or Linux computer before you use it to perform a software update.
DO NOT run the installer if your calculated value does not match the published checksum for your DCE version and operating system.
Verify from Windows PowerShell
- Download the Data Center Expert upgrade.zip file to your Windows machine.
- Open PowerShell. The PowerShell.exe command starts a session in a command window.
- Navigate to the directory containing the downloaded .zip file.
- Use the Get-FileHash PowerShell command to calculate the SHA1 or MD5 checksum of the file and compare it against the published value in the table.
Get-FileHash -Path .\upgrade-xxx.xx.zip -Algorithm SHA1
Get-FileHash -Path .\upgrade-xx.xx.zip -Algorithm MD5
Verify from a Linux terminal
- Download the Data Center Expert upgrade.zip file to your CentOS or RHEL machine.
- Open a terminal window.
- Navigate to the directory containing the downloaded .zip file.
- Use the sha1sum or md5sum terminal command to calculate the SHA1 or MD5 checksum of the installer and compare it against the published value.
sha1sum upgrade.zip
md5sum upgrade.zip

what published value in table is being referred to?
Hi Michael Jose,
When you contact support to validate your support contract, you will receive a link to download DCE. The checksums are published in a table on that page.
