The information on this page refers to License Statistics v4.0, which adds support for Felics. If you are running a previous version of License Statistics, please is deprecated. Please refer to the documentation relevant to your version: v3.10 documentation.

In order to run the License Statistics Usage Monitor, you must meet the following requirements, depending on the license management service(s) used. You must provide the path to one or more of these utilities as appropriate in the configuration file; see Configuring the License Statistics Usage Monitor. If your site uses both Unix and Windows machines, be sure to use the utility that corresponds with the platform on which the Usage Monitor is installed.

Info
License Statistics is supported on Windows 10 Pro on the Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) of Windows 10 and will remain supported for the lifetime of the app.


Resource-specific considerations for running License Statistics are given in the table below. We do our best to ensure License Statistics runs on all remaining distributions, but we cannot offer any guarantees. Requirements also vary depending on the number of license servers you are monitoring.
