Official source for MT5 build verification and MetaQuotes-Demo tick history
MetaQuotes Demo server is mostly used to update MT5 to beta build and to test beta builds for possible error on software in beta builds, means - MetaQuotes-Demo account should not be used for trading and testing; #1 and #3
MetaQuotes-Demo Python API timestamps approximately 2 hours ahead of UTC

Thank you. This explains why the terminal received a build newer than the latest published release.
For audit purposes, could you please clarify:
1. Does MetaQuotes publish an authenticated SHA-256 digest for beta build 6316 x64 terminal64.exe?
2. Can CopyTicksRange provide complete, ordered historical Bid/Ask ticks from MetaQuotes-Demo for a specified interval, or is continuity and completeness not guaranteed on that server?
3. For reproducible strategy testing and tick-history validation, should an account from a broker's Demo server be used instead of MetaQuotes-Demo?
Thank you.

Do not use MetaQuotes-Demo server for trading and testing. Because MetaQuotes is not a broker. Thank you. This explains why the terminal received a build newer than the latest published release.

Use the broker's data for that (and for update MT5 to the official build - download and install MT5 from the brokers' website).
Hello,
Where can I request an official SHA-256 digest for the MetaTrader 5 build 6316 x64 terminal64.exe distributed through LiveUpdate?
I also need ordered EURUSD Bid/Ask tick history from MetaQuotes-Demo for 11 November 2026, from 14:00 to 14:22 UTC. What is the official way to retrieve it and check whether the returned history fully covers that interval?
Thank you.
