How to Download Multiple Software Versions and Verify SHA-256

By Noom KotsomAugust 20, 2026

A single Amity Tech product page can provide several downloadable versions. You can install the latest release or return to an earlier version, review what changed, and verify the file before installation. This guide walks through the process and includes results from a real production test.

Download the Version You Need Safely

Check versions, read the changelog, download, and verify SHA-256.

1

Open the Product Page and Version History

Open the product page and select the Development tab to see the current and previous releases. Only the current release carries the Latest badge, and each entry includes its publication date and compatibility details.

2

Choose a Version and Review Its Changelog

Read the changelog before downloading, especially new features, bug fixes, and WordPress, PHP, or WooCommerce requirements. To roll back, download the file attached to the exact earlier version you need.

3

Download and Verify SHA-256

Download the selected release, then compare the file's SHA-256 checksum with the value displayed on the product page. On Windows PowerShell, run: Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\filename.zip. Do not install the file if the values differ.

Production Test Results (20 August 2026)

Amity Tech tested the live Amity Login & Register page. Versions 0.4.0 (70,668 bytes) and 0.3.0 (61,545 bytes) both downloaded successfully with HTTP 200 responses, both were valid ZIP files, and both SHA-256 checksums matched the published values. The version page had no horizontal overflow at 390px mobile, 768px tablet, or 1440px desktop widths, and no JavaScript errors were recorded during the test.

Tip: Back up the website and database before updating a plugin. For a production website, test the new release in a staging environment first and keep the previous ZIP until the update has been fully verified.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about previous releases and checksum verification.

Can I download an older version?
Yes, as long as the product owner still publishes that release. Open the Development tab and use the download button attached to the required version. The current release has a clear Latest badge; earlier releases remain in the version history.
What should I do if the SHA-256 values do not match?
Do not install the file. Delete it, download it again directly from amity-tech.com, and verify it once more. If it still does not match, contact support with the product name, version, and the SHA-256 value you calculated.
