Available versions and compatible devices
Before getting into the heart of this tutorial and explaining how to download Dike for free, it will be useful for you to know what versions of the program are available and the devices it supports.
Dike is a free software developed by InfoCert that allows you to both digitally sign a document and verify the signature on any type of file. It also allows you to verify and affix time stamps and share documents online.
At the time of writing this guide, GoSign by Dike is the latest available version of InfoCert’s software and is compatible with Windows 10, macOS (version 10.13 and higher) and Ubuntu (version 20 and higher). Compared to its predecessor, called Dike GoSign, GoSign by Dike proposes completely renewed graphics translated into 6 languages and new functions for document management. Besides, users who prefer to use GoSign without installing any software on their computer can also access the service directly from the browser.
GoSign is also available as a free app for Android and iPhone/iPad devices. Those who have activated a Business license or a Business+Grapho license can also download the GoSign Business app for Android and iOS/iPadOS and the GoSign Grapho app (which allows for graphometric signatures on tablets) for Android and iPad devices.

To download Dike GoSign for free on your computer, all you have to do is connect to the service’s official website and press on the option to start downloading the program.

How to download Dike Util for free
If you are wondering if it is still possible to download Dike Util, the InfoCert software for smart card management, I’m sorry to tell you that the answer is negative. In fact, since it no longer meets the security features required by current regulations, the software in question is no longer distributed by InfoCert.
That said, you should know that all the Dike Util functions are available within GoSign, grouped in the Configuration section.
