The information on this page refers to License Statistics v6.20 and newer, which added a new "Dry Run" option to the Release Methods. If you are using an earlier version, please refer to the documentation for earlier versions. |
The major and minor versions of License Statistics and License Statistics Agent are compared upon startup for compatibility.
- The major versions must match in order for the agent to run
- The License Statistics Agent version may be up to five minor versions older than your License Statistics version, but cannot be newer
- Micro versions are ignored
For example, say your License Statistics version is "6.15.2":
- The major version number "6" must match between License Statistics and License Statistics Agent
- The minor version number "15" may be as old as version 6.10 for License Statistics Agent, but cannot be older, and cannot be newer than 6.15 (agent version 6.16 or newer is incompatible)
- The micro version number "2" is ignored
