Info
titleLicense Statistics Agent

With this release, we're happy to introduce a new License Statistics add-on tool, License Statistics Agent. This initial version of License Statistics Agent is the first iteration of our new long-term project that will significantly extend License Statistics capabilities. License Statistics Agent is a separate service installed independently from License Statistics directly on client/server hosts, where it gathers data and delivers it to the License Statistics application.

For this first version, License Statistics Agent supports monitoring of Autodesk license usage, directly on client hosts. You can expect much more in upcoming releases.

...

Info
titleAutodesk

Information delivered by License Statistics Agent is combined with data gathered from the Autodesk cloud platform to enable License Statistics to deliver detailed statistics about Autodesk license usage.

The immediate need to support monitoring of Autodesk licenses was driven by Autodesk's plans to change their licensing model from network licenses (FlexNet License Manager) to user licenses.

...

Info

Note that some new features are available only when using the new licensing model (2019).

When upgrading License Statistics on Windows from v6.6 to newer versions, there is no longer the need to uninstall the previous installation.

Upgrading License Statistics on Windows from versions prior to v6.6 to newer versions still requires a one-time manual upgrade, as done for all previous releases, following the instructions for upgrading License Statistics using an embedded database or external database, as appropriate for your installation.
