  1. Back up the following files, located in the :
    • License Statistics
    installation directory by default:
    • configuration file (xflicstat.cfg)
    • License Statistics license file (license.lic)
    • move 3rd party utilities (for example, query tools), which should be moved to some a location outside of the License Statistics installation directory to avoid their removal by the installer
