License Statistics version v66.0 includes the enhancements and fixes detailed below. Most of these improvements were made in response to customer feedback. For more information on how we incorporate customer feedback into our development process, see Customer-driven development.

| Info | ||

License Statistics v6.0 introduced a new licensing model (2019) that significantly simplifies licensing rules. The old licensing model (2013) is still available to customers for a limited time, as described in License Transition. |
...
| Warning | ||
|---|---|---|

Due to technological stack changes, we modified the structure of the xflicstat.cfg configuration file. A number of configuration options were removed and new options added. In addition, stricter validation of the file was introduced. As a result, you must use the new configuration file delivered with License Statistics v6.0 and adjust it to your needs instead of simply copying the old xflicstat.cfg file from previous installations. Highlight of configuration file changes
See Configuring License Statistics for details on configuration file settings. |
