As of License Statistics v6.17, the Linux installer automatically updates License Statistics and preserves all data and configuration settings.
- Back up the database using the License Statistics Manager, or if needed, see the instructions for:
- Download the License Statistics installation from the License Statistics download page.
- Start the installer and follow its instructions.
Make sure that 3rd party utilities (like query tools) are always stored outside of the License Statistics installation directory to avoid their removal by the installer.
Back up data and uninstall the old version the same way as for versions prior to 6.17. Then, follow instructions depending on whether your installation is for DEB distributions, RPM distributions, or universal (generic) platform, and revert the backed-up data.
