When updating License Statistics from v6.6 and above on Windows use automated update procedure using MSI installer. |
- Back up Backup the following files, located in the License Statistics installation directory by default:
- configuration file (xflicstat.cfg)
- license file (license.lic)
- move 3rd party utilities (for example, query tools) to some location outside of the License Statistics installation directory
- Back up Backup the database
- Download the License Statistics installation from the License Statistics download page
- Stop License Statistics service
- Remove the current installation
Info Do not run License Statistics yet.
Restore embedded database
Info This step applies only when using embedded database. If using external database, License Statistics will update it automatically.
- Import or activate the license
Import or restore configuration settings
Info Avoid replacing new xflicstat.cfg file with the backed up copy due to risk of incompatibility. It's recommended to configure new xfclistat.cfg file using the values from old one.
- Start License Statistics
Update query tool paths on License Server administration page 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.
