License Statistics version 5.6 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.
Upgrade Notice
As part of this release we are shipping a new aggregation engine that will allow for much faster generation of your license usage reports. The new engine needs some time to index data, so we recommend letting License Statistics run for a few days (preferably on the weekend or at night) before you start generating usage reports.
Notice: Please remember to add the following entries into xflicstat.cfg when using your old config file:
MYSQL_CONNECTION_SHARE_CORE = 70
MYSQL_CONNECTION_SHARE_REPORT = 30
