License Statistics version 6.23 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. 

When upgrading from License Statistics v6.17 and newer on Linux, use the DEB and RPM installers to update your installation automatically. 

In addition to learning about the changes in this release, we highly recommend reviewing the License Statistics v6.18 Release Notes if you are upgrading from an older version.

Important

This release discontinued support for the xflicstat.cfg flag LICENSE_PATH. You must remove the LICENSE_PATH directive from your xflicstat.cfg file; otherwise, License Statistics will not start. Usage of the xflicstat.cfg file has been deprecated since License Statistics v6.18.
