1). Go to the TIBCO download site’s product download page where all of the installers for different OS’s and platform’s can be located. You will find “MD5 Checksum” file which contains the MD5 (Message Digest number 5) for all available binaries.  Open the “MD5 Checksum” file to get the checksum for the binary you are interested in.

2). Get the checksum with a checksum calculation utility for the platform you are running on.  You should be able to download one from the Internet.

Example: For Microsoft Windows, you could use the Windows File Checksum Integrity Verifier (FCIV).

Run :

fciv TIB_rv_8.3.1_win_x86_64_vc8.zip
//
// File Checksum Integrity Verifier version 2.05.
//
02f47c98af2398a42e209095babf3a53 tib_rv_8.3.1_win_x86_64_vc8.zip

You will get the checksum “02f47c98af2398a42e209095babf3a53” for tib_rv_8.3.1_win_x86_64_vc8.zip .

3). Compare the checksum value from the above two steps to see if they are the same. The same value indicates that your download is correct.
