Our purchasing department is responsible for tracking costs. It's one of the most widely used tools in our organization. It likely does not have a high price point. I don't have insights into licensing.

It's relatively expensive for our use case because Klocwork isn't central to our output. We're a hardware manufacturing company, so we aren't delivering software solutions. It's difficult for the organization to put a price tag on the software's value. We're not an enterprise software organization. We don't have hundreds of engineers working on software that directly generates revenue.

There are other solutions on the market such as Microsoft Visual Studio. They have been adding more static code analysis features that come for free. It is getting better all the time. That is one of the possibilities is that we've been considering that we may stop using the Klocwork because it doesn't give us any added value. Klocwork is an expensive solution.
Klocwork should not to be quite so heavy handed on the licensing for very specific programs. We paid a very high price for Klocwork, and the reason why we paid such a high price for it is that we wanted to make sure we could run it. We did not want slot count limitations. We wanted to be able to work multiple programs to support the entire program office, so the program office had anything that they needed analyzed. I did not want to have to worry about whether or not I was violating a license. Back in 2006, our one analysis seat was $75,000.
Klocwork detects security, safety, and reliability issues in real-time by using this static code analysis toolkit that works alongside developers, finding issues as early as possible, and integrates with teams, supporting continuous integration and actionable reporting.

Licensing fees are paid annually, but they also have a perpetual license. There are no additional costs.
I'm not involved in the financial or licensing aspect of the solution.
I don't know much about cost and licensing as my management is looking at these things.

It is worth it for the price that the vendor quoted.
The Klocwork tool is worth the price that they have quoted.
