License Statistics version 6.7 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 on Windows or Activating a License Statistics license online.

In addition to learning about the changes in this release, we highly recommend reviewing the License Statistics v6.0 Release Notes, License Statistics v5.15 Release Notes and License Statistics v5.14 Release Notes if you are upgrading from an older version.

We're happy to announce the first release of License Statistics Agent tool. It's a first iteration of our new long-term project significantly extending License Statistics capabilities. It's a separate service installed independently from License Statistics directly on client/server hosts delivering gathered data to License Statistics application.

In the current release it allows for monitoring usage of the Autodesk licenses directly on client hosts. You can expect much more in next releases.

Information delivered by License Statistics Agent are combined with data gathered from Autodesk cloud platform (https://manage.autodesk.com) to deliver details statistics about Autodesk user licenses usage.

Separate Autodesk license manager type is motivated by Autodesk plans to change licensing model from network licenses (FlexNet License Manager) to user licenses. More information can be found in our (link to LICSTAT-17652) article.
