We’re happy to announce the next version of License Statistics, v3.5, is now available.
This is our first major release since v3.0 and includes more than 500 changes. This new version has taken a long time to complete and release, because almost 80% of the original code has been changed or replaced. Now, after months of work, we’re ready to present you with this new version of License Statistics that we feel is superior to the previous releases in every aspect.
The biggest change in version 3.5 is that we now use MySQL as the internal database. This important enhancement allows for much faster data storage and eliminates the need to produce HTML files in the background. MySQL is provided as an embedded database requiring no effort to setup. This release also includes support for external MySQL databases.
Another significant improvement is the web interface, which has been entirely reworked into a much more modern implementation. This new version includes authentication and account management. In addition, a new dashboard lets you see useful realtime statistics about your license servers and features. We have also added several widgets to make sure you always have some of the most critical information right at your fingertips:
• License server list with status notification
• Most utilized features
• Expiring features
• Idle user list
If you haven’t done so already, be sure to try out these and other new features at our live installation.

Furthermore, we’ve added support for Reprise License Manager (RLM) and improved the support for IBM LUM servers.
Under the hood, the data design has changed completely. This redesign will enable us to create many new report types in upcoming releases that were completely impossible to make before. Using custom SQL queries it’s possible to create such reports with this release. Subsequent releases will feature easier report generation as well as many other planned features.
As always, this release has been made in conjunction with our customers. We’ve addressed a lot of feedback in this release and we’re constantly listening to your suggestions and requests to improve License Statistics.
