To update to License Statistics v6.24 and newer from versions older than v6.18, you must first update to v6.18 or newer (updating to v6.23.3 is recommended).
Note that downgrading of the database is not supported. As of License Statistics v6.14.4, the application will fail to start when attempted to run with a database newer than the installed License Statistics version.
