The information on this page refers to License Statistics v5.15 or newer, which upgraded MySQL to v5.7.

By default, License Statistics uses an embedded MySQL database, which is delivered with the application. The embedded database will be automatically installed and configured until you change your xflicstat.cfg configuration file to use an external database.

Infowarning

Although the embedded database is easier to use and more convenient for getting started with License Statistics, we strongly recommend using it only for testing and evaluation purposes.

For production environments, we recommend using an external database, which has advantages such as:

  • Faster upgrade procedure

Note that License Statistics supports only MySQL 5.7.x. Other versions are not supported.
