Warning

License Statistics v7.0 no longer supports the deprecated MySQL v8.0 database. Make sure to follow the proper update procedure matching your scenario.

More details about migrating For help troubleshooting any issues with migration to MySQL v8.4 can be found on the , see Upgrading to MySQL 8.4 page.

Info

With License Statistics v7.0, we have introduced a new support policy, which includes support for eight minor versions and all bugfix versions prior to the current version. The support policy covers: 

  • availability of installers on the download portal
  • direct updates (using MSI, RPM, and DEB  installers)
  • support for database server versions (must be currently supported by the vendor)
  • support for data migrations
  • support for new license generation (for supported versions only)
  • availability of phone and online help assistance by the X-Formation Support Team

As part of introducing this new policy, as of License Statistics v7.0, installers released prior to License Statistics v6.18 will not be available on the download portal, except for those required to provide a migration chain from older versions. 

For more details, see Updating License Statistics.
