From WHMCS Documentation

[edit] User contribution: Checksums by EcwNick (See all by this user)

This admin module will give you a list of WHMCS' files which you've customised, so that before an upgrade, you'll know what you need to stop being overwritten.

This module queries WHMCS' database for the installation's version number, then compares a list of checksums for that version against the files actually in place on the server. It then presents you with a list of the files which aren't exactly the same as a freshly downloaded copy of the same version. When you're next updating WHMCS you know exactly which files you've made modifications to, safe in the knowledge that you've not forgotten about something.

(It also displays a list of missing files, unchanged files, and the checksum file)

The module will first check the WHMCS root directory for a checksums file (sums.<version>.md5). If found, this will be used as a reference. If not, the module will instead attempt to download a copy (using cURL).

New checksum files will be released a good few days after WHMCS releases, there are usually a couple of silent bugfixes inserted into the download file without incrementing the version number for a few days after each release. For this reason it is also recommended that you do not update your WHMCS installation until after the checksums file for the version is released.

Latest checksum version: 3.6.1
