Important: Be sure to make a backup before uninstalling License Statistics. All files will be deleted from the License Statistics installation directory during the uninstallation.
To perform a backup of the License Statistics database:
- You must have License Statistics running on an embedded MySQL database with a default password. If your setup is different, edit the batch file (mysql_backup.bat for Windows; mysql_backup.sh for Unix) with your custom settings.
- To backup the data from the License Statistics database, use the mysql_backup.bat script, located in the mysql directory under the License Statistics installation directory. This script will create a dump (xformation_licstat.dump) of your database. Be sure to place the dump in a safe location.
- To restore the data, put the saved database dumps in the mysql directory under the License Statistics installation directory where mysql_restore.bat is located. Then, use the mysql_restore.bat batch script to restore the data.
