Coverity Analysis is used to run a local analysis. If the Coverity Connect system administrator has configured the Downloads page to include the Coverity Analysis installer, you can download it (and optionally the license.dat license file) to your system. (For information on how to configure the Downloads page to include the Coverity Analysis installer, refer to the section "Adding Coverity Analysis to the Downloads page" in the Coverity Platform User and Administrator Guide.)

To download Coverity Analysis from the Coverity Connect Downloads page:

  1. In the Downloads page, download the Coverity Analysis package (if available).
  2. If available, download the license file.
  3. Run the Coverity Analysis installer. It is required that you provide the location of the license.dat file during installation.
    Note: In the case where Coverity Analysis uses a FlexNet license, you will find a license.config file in SA_install_dir/bin.
  4. When you configure Coverity Desktop for local analysis, you can point the configuration to your local Coverity Analysis instance.
