License Statistics version 7.0 includes the new features, 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. 


License Statistics v7.0 no longer supports the deprecated MySQL v8.0 database. Make sure to follow the proper update procedure matching your scenario.

More details about migrating to MySQL v8.4 can be found on the Upgrading to MySQL 8.4 page.

With License Statistics v7.0, we introduce a new support policy, which includes support for 8 minor and all their bugfix versions back. It applies to: 

  • installers' availability on the download portal
  • supporting direct updates using the installers (MSI, RPM, and DEB)
  • supporting database server versions to only those supported by their vendor
  • supporting data migrations
  • providing phone and online help by our Support Team

As a part of introducing a new policy, as of License Statistics v7.0, installers before License Statistics v6.18 will not be available on the download portal, except those required to provide a migration chain from older versions. 

More details can be found on Updating License Statistics.

Disabled support for Autodesk cloud monitoring

Because License Statistics can no longer collect Autodesk cloud-based license information reliably and securely, the following Autodesk-related data will no longer be available in License Statistics reports:

  • Number of available Autodesk licenses from the cloud portal
  • Information about users assigned to licenses through Autodesk’s web interface
  • License details fetched directly from the Autodesk cloud

This change affects only cloud-based monitoring of Autodesk licenses. You can still use License Statistics Agent to continue to collect detailed usage information about Autodesk software running locally on your Autodesk workstations.

In one of the future releases, we will re-introduce most of this functionality using data importing
