- Back up the following files:
- License Statistics configuration file (xflicstat.cfg), located in the License Statistics installation directory by default
- License Statistics license file (license.lic), located in the License Statistics installation directory by default
- 3rd party utilities (for example, query tools), which should be moved to a location outside of the License Statistics installation directory to avoid their removal by the installer
- Back up the database, depending on which database hosting you are using:
- Download the License Statistics installation from the License Statistics download page.
- Stop License Statistics.
- Remove the current installation.
Info Do not run License Statistics yet.
If you are using an embedded database, restore the database.
Info This step applies only when using an embedded database. If you are using an external database, License Statistics will update it automatically.
- Import or activate the license.
Import or restore your configuration settings.
Info Avoid replacing the new xflicstat.cfg file with your backed up copy, due to risk of incompatibility. We recommend that you configure the new xfclistat.cfg file by copying/importing the values from the old file to the new file as needed.
- Start License Statistics.
Update the query tool paths on the License Server administration page to refer to the new directory.
Info The query tool executable (and the path provided in the License Statistics UI) must be local, so if specifying a query tool, ensure that the executable is on the same machine as the License Statistics installation.
