"Failed to activate software." -- what's your V5 installer checksum?

By my count there are least six users including myself who are experiencing this error trying to run V5 (four on these forums, plus two more I came across while browsing reddit). Some are running Linux, some Windows.

S3D says they cannot reproduce the problem; several of us can reproduce it with our eyes closed. I detailed my attempts over here. If the company really can't reproduce it, the only other variable I can think of is the actual installer and final executable being different for some of us. It's unlikely our small group of users all ended up with corrupted downloads; the internal checksum in the zip file should prevent that going unnoticed. But the fact remains that it just does not work for some of us. So, for those of you who know how to get an MD5 or SHA256 hash for the installer zip and executable files, what say you? Here are mine:
