Connect

Verify your download (recommended)

After downloading, confirm the file is authentic and complete by checking its SHA-256 fingerprint against the value below.

Published checksum file: Connect-Setup.exe.sha256

In PowerShell, run:

Get-FileHash .\Connect-Setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256

The output must match the value above. If it does not, do not run the file — re-download it.

A note on the Windows security prompt

On first run, Windows may show a “Windows protected your PC” (SmartScreen) prompt because this release is newly published. This is expected for new software and does not mean the file is unsafe — you can confirm authenticity with the SHA-256 check above. Managed/enterprise customers: ask your IT team about trusting the Connect code-signing certificate (SaylConnect-CodeSigning.cer) so the prompt does not appear on company PCs.
