Check the system requirements to select the proper machine (client or server).
Client or server?
The same installation package works for both servers and clients.
For a standalone project, install VE on a client PC.
If you wish to share your code analysis among several developers, and/or schedule the code analysis on a regular basis, It is highly recommended to install VE on a Server machine.
Check your Repository
You need to verify that the repository created automatically during the VE installation can handle your volume of code. If not, we will guide you to create the proper Repository:
Do you see the default screen with the number of objects analyzed?
Check the status of your code analysis:
Open Visual Expert and go to [Code analysis - Manage analysis]
Is the "status" of your code analysis "completed"?
If the analysis was not properly completed, read this article to create a new Repository that will support your volume of code.
Repository Storage:
SQL Server Standard Edition or higher.
CPU: 8 cores minimum - 3 Ghz or higher
RAM: 16 GB Minimum
Hard Drive: 512 GB to 1 TB
OS: Windows Server 2012, 2016, 2019
Client Side
CPU: 4 cores minimum
RAM: 4 GB Minimum
OS: Windows 8, Windows 10
Important note:
Above are minimum requirements covering most cases.
The largest volume of code will require more resources.
