If there are problems with LICENSE_STATISTICS_INSTALLATION_FOLDER/log/ui folder permissions, you may see an error similar to the following in the License Statistics log file, licstat.log.

To confirm that the problem is related to permissions—which may prevent some log files from being written in the LICENSE_STATISTICS_INSTALLATION_FOLDER/log/ui folder—it is recommended to verify that the ui folder contains any files and/or if they are up-to-date. Note that the ui folder may contain either no files or outdated files, depending on whether the problem occurred shortly after installing License Statistics or at a later point in time.

To resolve this issue, you need to increase ui folder permission settings.
