Licensing Model 2019 was introduced with License Statistics v6.0.


License Statistics needs to have a valid license loaded in order to work. The types of licenses are described in the tables below.

License type by purpose

Delivered with License Statistics installer only. Can be used for evaluation and testing purposes only. This is the default license type that is loaded if no other valid license was delivered.

The License Harvesting add-on tool is included in the Trial version. This tool must be purchased separately for regular licenses.


It is not possible to run a Trial license:

  • With a database that already contains data older than the trial start date
  • On a host where a commercial license was previously installed


Trial licenses have some data collection limitations, as described in the Trial section of the FAQ.
