License Statistics version 5.0 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." For information about activating your License Statistics license, see "Activating a License Statistics license."
In this release we replaced the License Statistics Dashboard with a new customizable Dashboard which can be used for adding, deleting, moving, and minimizing different charts and grids.
With this release, we're introducing a new update script that will remove old, inconsistent data from the database. However, since some of our Customers may wish to keep such data in their database, at the beginning the update script creates a file to safely keep this kind of data. Customers wanting to restore their old data need to verify that their mysql user has permissions to write and/or create files. Otherwise, a backup file will not be created. Whenever upgrading to a newer version, be sure to make a backup of the database(s) to ensure against data loss.
Upgrade Notice
When upgrading to this release, you need to reactivate your existing License Statistics license using your regular license Activation Key (see Activating a License Statistics license on Windows or Activating a License Statistics license online for more details).
