| The information on this page refers to License Statistics v7.4 or newer, which added a validation process that prohibits running multiple instances of License Statistics using the same database. If you are using an earlier version of License Statistics, please refer to the documentation for releases prior to v7.4. |
License Statistics runs as a service on Windows and as a daemon on Linux.
For both Windows and Linux, you must first configure License Statistics before running it.
For platform-specific instructions for running License Statistics on Windows, see Starting and stopping License Statistics on Windows. For Linux instructions, see Starting and stopping License Statistics on Linux.
You cannot run two different versions of License Statistics (for example, one for production and one for testing purposes) simultaneously on the same host.
To prevent data corruption, running more than one instance of License Statistics using the same database is not allowed. A validation is run upon application startup to prevent running multiple instances of License Statistics on the same database schema. If detected it, any instances that attempt to start after the first instance will fail to start.
