Download the Diffblue Cover CLI .exe
installer or .zip
file from:
- The Diffblue website - version.
- The link sent to you via your Diffblue Cover welcome email.
- Your organization's internal file/app store.
If you use the installer, run the .exe
installer and follow the on-screen prompts - during installation you can select where to install Diffblue Cover.
If you use the archive file, extract the .zip
file to an appropriate installation folder. Add the install folder path to your PATH
environment variable or create a new %DCOVER%
environment variable and add that to PATH
.
When you're done, restart your PC. Once complete, open Windows PowerShell and enter dcover version
to check the install and PATH
configuration - if all is OK, Cover will display the current version.
Diffblue Cover requires a remote license check with the Diffblue licensing server each time it's used. For help troubleshooting license keys, network connections, and proxy server settings, as well as details of offline licensing (Enterprise Edition only), see Licensing.
To activate your license, open Windows PowerShell (Windows) or Terminal (macOS/Linux) and enter the command dcover activate <license-key>
- replace <license-key>
with the license key provided in your welcome email or provided by your organization.
Entering multiple different license keys will overwrite the existing key.
You can check your license status by running the command dcover license
Using the link provided by Diffblue, download the new Diffblue Cover CLI file - either the .exe

archive, as needed.
If you use the installer, run the .exe
installer and follow the on-screen prompts.
If you use the archive file, extract the .zip
file to your existing Cover CLI folder.
When your done, restart your PC.
