License Statistics v6.18 includes the following breaking changes:
- MySQL has been upgraded to v8.0
- The License Statistics license is now stored in the database rather than in a file
- A new CLI (Command Line Interface) tool replaces the use of scripts
- The License Statistics Manager is no longer used for license management operations (management is now done using the newly introduced CLI or directly from the Licensing page in the UI)
- You must update to a License Statistics version newer than v6.0 prior to updating to v6.18 or newer
The newest core.jar attachment is no longer available for download on Obtaining the latest release components. The X-Formation Support team will deliver the proper file when needed.
