Hi,
Since yesterday afternoon (5/9/2018) I have not been able to compile my projects that is using 4Duino since last past this January. I have ARDUINO 1.8.5 IDE installed and I tried to update the boards to 4Duino but it does not get to http://www.4dsystems.com.au/downloads/4duino/package_4dsystems_index.json
I think the problem is caused by the server where they are hosting the Boards Manager files. Even after I did a workaround for the "file signature verification failed. File ignored." error I just ran into another error when actually trying to install the package.
I think the easiest workaround is to do a manual installation:
Extract the downloaded file. This will result in a folder named 1.8.1.
Create the following folder structure: {sketchbook folder}/hardware/4D Systems AVR Boards/avr. You can find the location of {sketchbook folder} in the Arduino IDE at File > Preferences > Sketchbook location.
Copy the contents of the 1.8.1 folder to {sketchbook folder}/hardware/4D Systems AVR Boards/avr.
Restart the Arduino IDE if it's running.
You should report this problem to 4D Systems so they can fix their Boards Manager installation support.

but when I run Workshop software it says there is a problem to compile sketch.
When you encounter an error you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar "Copy error messages". Click that button. Paste the error in a message here USING CODE TAGS (</> button on the toolbar).
I was asking about Workshop4. It seems now like this "Workshop4" thing is a separate application. I though it might have just been a sketch you were trying to compile with the Arduino IDE. I have no experience with whatever 4duino is.
When you install a hardware package via Boards Manager it is installed to a different location than the folder used for manual installation. It's possible that this Workshop thing is looking for the installation in the Boards Manager location only. What happens if you click "Yes"?
It should be possible to do a manual installation to the Boards Manager installation location if that is necessary.
I think the boards are also installed at AppData folder (Into Users folder of Windows), but I don't know the correct folder structure (for instance I have tried to install ESP866 Board and it has installed at /Users/myUser/AppData/Arduino15/packages/esp8266
