Checking the integrity of your downloaded Cradle files

Are Downloaded Files Correct?

Want to ensure the files you have downloaded are the original files published by 3SL?

On our website as well as being able to download the Cradle software we supply two text files. These files contain checksums, which are used to ensure the integrity of a file after it has been transmitted from one storage device to another.Screenshot showing checksum download on website

Checksums available on 3SL website

SHA512.txt

This file contains SHA512 checksums for the files. You can generate a SHA512 checksum using the sha512sum command. For example:

sha512sum Cradle72_Setup.exe

Compare the output to the contents of the sha512.txt file.

Single User to Enterprise Conversion

Project Grown?

Has your project grown? Is it too big for a single user? Do you need to work in an enterprise environment?

When you first start with a project you may just need one person working away at the initial Requirements (single-user environment). However, when more stakeholders, designers, reviewers and managers join (an enterprise environment) the installation needs to grow.

The good news is that in Cradle this is simply a reconfiguration of your Cradle licence for an Enterprise version and then you can all carry on with the same project.
