- The minimum supported version of MySQL server is v5.7.28.
- License Statistics API v1 was deprecated as of License Statistics v6.8 and is being removed in the current release. Use the stable API v2 instead.
Details on these new features and enhancements are provided below. For complete information on all features, refer to the License Statistics v6.12 Release Notes and associated v6.12 documentation.
Remotely Monitoring CodeMeter License Manager
License Statistics v6.12 now enables you to gather usage statistics on the CodeMeter license manager using remote data sources.
As we learn of new and popularly used license managers, trust us to give you the support you need for them. See the License Statistics documentation for currently supported license managers.
Setting User License Session Length
The ability to set user Session length is now available in License Statistics v6.12. You can set a maximum license session length when you add or edit a user and user authentication is enabled (the default).
Use the “Session length” slider on the User Management page in the Authentication Settings section to set the number of days that the session will last after users log in. The session length defaults to 1 day and has a maximum of 356 days. The session length you set is saved automatically.
See Managing License Statistics Users in the v6.12 documentation for more information.
License Statistics API v3 First Release
The first release of API v3 includes extended reports that allow extended selection of all license servers and features. The following reports are affected:
- Features – Usage History
- Features – Current Usage
- Features – User History
- License Servers – Current Usage
NOTE: We’ve provided this first API v3 release to lay the groundwork for future API features and enhancements. It is still under development and we reserve the right to release breaking changes as the API continues to evolve. For production environments we recommend using the stable API v2 release.
