In some cases, you may not be able to upgrade directly to the latest version of License Statistics due to changes in the installers, database, and migration system.
If a middle-step update is required when updating from older versions, ensure that you start the service and wait for data migration to complete before proceeding to the next steps.
Note that downgrading of the database is not supported. As of License Statistics v6.14.4, the application will fail to start when attempting to run with a database newer than the installed License Statistics version.
The procedure for updating an existing License Statistics installation depends on:
- Your installation platform (Windows or Linux)
- Your currently installed License Statistics version that you will be updating
