Note that downgrading of the database is not supported. As of License Statistics v6.14.4, the application will fail to start when turned on with a database newer than the installed version.
The procedure for updating an existing License Statistics installation depends on:
- Your installation platform (Windows or Linux)
- Your currently installed License Statistics version that you will be updating
- Your database hosting type (embedded or external)
Choose the upgrade instructions that match your version and platform from the table below.
