The information on this page refers to License Statistics v6.8 and newer, which introduced ID and Description fields in grids. If you are using a version previous to v6.8, see documentation for previous versions.

You can add imported license servers and edit information for existing imported license servers using the License Servers page, found under the Administration section. (This page is visible only for License Statistics administrator users.) Note: This page also lets you add and edit realtime license servers, as described in Adding and editing license servers.

You may also import license servers by copying the file to the proper directory in License Statistics, as described in Supported license servers.
