Verify your download

Signature and checksum

Before running any MaeWest installer on a production machine:

Right-click the installer → Properties → Digital Signatures. The signer must read MaeWest Software and the signature must be valid.
Compare the SHA-256 hash to the value listed in your MaeWest licence email:
Get-FileHash .\MaeWest-*-Setup-*.exe -Algorithm SHA256

If either check fails, do not run the installer. Contact support so we can reissue a fresh signed build.
