The PKS Validation Suite is designed to work with any valid PKS 3.1 deployment, regardless of the operating system used to run PKS. A single full validation run requires an additional minimum of 25MB of free disk space to store output, and could require as much as 100MB due the amount of information saved when a test fails.
Note: Installation on Windows 2000 or XP requires administrator rights. In addition, the following PKS client applications must be installed in order to run the related (optional) tests of the PKS-client interactions.
