Upgrading License Statistics
You can upgrade License Statistics to a newer version using an embedded database or an external MySQL database. (To find out whether your database is embedded, please see the MySQL server configuration section in your xflicstat.cfg file.) However, it is recommended to use an external MySQL database whenever possible to avoid extra work.
For more information, see Upgrading License Statistics.

Why is my new X-Formation product license set to expire?
Most software purchases have 30-day payment terms. If X-Formation delivers your software to you before your payment is received, the software is normally set up to expire in 30 days, in order to allow for payment to be received.
As soon as payment is received, the expiring version will be replaced with a non-expiring version. If you need to reactivate/redownload your software, we will notify you.
To avoid expiration, make sure that payment is scheduled to arrive on time.
