DC Loader Wizard Verisign Protection

 

LINZ's DC Loader wizard is protected by a Verisign Code Signing Digital ID so you can be assured that the integrity of the code you download from the DC Loader is legitimate and has not been tampered with or altered in transit.

A digital ID serves as a virtual 'shrinkwrap' for software such as the DC Loader. Any tampering will cause the digital signature to break, alerting users that the code is no longer protected.

LINZ recommends that you check the DC Loader wizard executable by following the steps below.

We recommend you print these instructions before starting.
