The plug-in ZIP archive must reside in the 
               
Plugins subdirectory within the 
               
Silk Central installation directory. To integrate plug-ins residing in this directory, restart your application server and front-end server
               through 
               
Silk Central Service Manager. 
               
               
Note: Hot deployment is not supported. 
                  
               
 
               
            Each time an archive is modified, these two servers must be restarted. The archive is uploaded automatically to execution
               servers. 
               
            
 
            
            Note: Never remove a plug-in archive after a test based on that plug-in has been created. A test which is based on a no longer existing
               plug-in archive will throw unknown errors when being changed or executed.
