The information on this page refers to License Statistics v6.18 or newer, which removed the ability to activate licenses using the License Statistics Manager and introduced the CLI. License activation is now done using the Management tab on the Licensing page or using the CLI, which was introduced with v6.18. If you are using a version previous to v6.18, see documentation for previous versions.

You must reactivate your license whenever you upgrade your license or renew your maintenance. The license is held in License Statistics storage and will be reused with new updates of License Statistics (unless you are instructed to update the license for any reason).

The following table describes the methods for activating a License Statistics license:
