Download Southcode Desk for Windows
This is the official download of Southcode Desk, the original build. Setup is about 34 MB, and a portable single .exe of about 25 MB also exists, so pick whichever suits the machine. Check the checksum first.
- Download the installer from this page.
- Compare its SHA-256 checksum with the published manifest, using the certutil command below.
- Run setup. If Windows SmartScreen warns you, choose More info and then Run anyway, but only after the checksum matches.
- Open Southcode Desk, connect a model and choose the folder with your baseline and reports as the working folder.
No account needed. A cloud AI provider you connect may charge separately. Use the app only on networks and devices you own or are authorised in writing to test, and never on anyone else's.
System requirements
Southcode Desk runs on Windows 10 and 11 in the 64-bit (x64) edition, and the interface comes in 13 languages. The scanner is your choice. The agent only runs the scanner command you give it, so install and learn that program separately.
Updates
The app shows an Update button when a new version is ready, and version 2.9.22, the one on this page, was released on 28 October 2026. Press Update then.
