## 1.2. Configuring Kodo Development Workbench

Upon starting Kodo Workbench, a dialog will appear to select, create, and edit a configuration file to configure Kodo. Enter a valid license key in the `General` pane, as well as connection information in the `Connecting` pane.

Select `Validate` to test your configuration and to enable the `Finish` button. Upon completion, Kodo Workbench will ask you to save your configuration to a file. Enter a file, and Kodo Workbench will remember that file location to avoid entering this wizard in the future.

You can also load configuration values from an existing `.properties` file by using the `Select` button. In addition to filling out the fields appropriately, this will also enable you to finish the configuration wizard.

If you want to export the configuration to another file that will not be used by Kodo Workbench, select `Write Copy`. And if you want to start with an empty configuration, select `New`.

Note that while Kodo Workbench will remember your file settings, it will not attempt to remember the contents of those files. This means that if you change the file, on future restarts, Kodo Workbench will follow the changed settings of that file.

You can always return to this dialog to select a new configuration for future uses of Kodo Workbench selecting the `Configuration Tool` menu item from the `Configuration` menu.
