Install

Installing Klocwork begins with setting up Validate, which provides the core platform for all Klocwork tools. From installing for the first time to upgrading to the latest release, all scenarios are covered in this section.

If you're having troubles, see Troubleshooting your installation.

Are you upgrading from a previous release?

Upgrading to a newer version of Validate is a simple process. Depending on your current installation scenario, you can choose from one of two different upgrade options:
  • importing your projects and configuration settings, or
  • migrating your projects_root directory
To find out which one is right for you, see Upgrading from a previous version.

Installing Validate

On Windows, the Validate server is installed using a wizard. The wizard helps you to configure your license server and to define the location of your projects_root directory. Once you've installed the Validate server, you must deploy the desktop analysis plug-ins to your users.
