Important: Be sure to make a backup before uninstalling License Statistics. All files will be deleted from the License Statistics installation directory during the uninstallation.

To perform a backup of the License Statistics database:

1. You must have License Statistics running on an embedded MySQL database with a default password. If your setup is different, edit the mysql_backup batch script with your custom settings.
   
   
2. Stop License Statistics.
   
   
3. Use the mysql_start_backup_stop batch script, located in the mysql directory under the License Statistics installation directory.
   
   This script will create a dump (xformation_licstat.dump) of your database. Be sure to place the dump in a safe location. Keep the dump as a backup.
   
   
4. Copy your License Statistics configuration file (xflicstat.cfg), license file (license.lic), 3rd party utilities (for example, lmutil.exe) and database files to a safe location as a part of the backup.

1. Stop License Statistics.
   
   
2. If the database already exists, drop it before attempting the restore.
   
   
3. Put the saved database dumps in the mysql directory under the License Statistics installation directory.
   
   
4. Use the mysql_start_restore_stop batch script to restore the data.
   
   
5. Copy your License Statistics configuration file (xflicstat.cfg), license file (license.lic), 3rd party utilities (for example, lmutil.exe) and database files back to the License Statistics directory.
