For the Polyspace Jenkins plugin, does the machine running Jenkins have to also have Polyspace Bug Finder Server?

I was reading about the Jenkins Polyspace plugin here. I was wondering if the machine with Jenkins on it has to also have Bug Finder Server or if Bug Finder Server could be on a separate machine.

Only the machine that runs a Bug Finder analysis needs to have access to a Bug Finder Server product somehow. The actual installation of Bug Finder Server can be on the same machine or mounted from a network, but the machine has to be able to point to the installation.

In a Jenkins master-slave setup, if you want only the machines on a slave node to run a Bug Finder analysis, the machine on the master node need not have access to the Bug Finder Server product.
