How to find the main Statistica license file for technical support

The license file is a small plain text file named STAT.lic. Note: For a network installation, the reference to the STAT.lic file is located in the Statistica installation directory on each workstation or client station. However, the main license file on the server is the one that must be sent to technical support.
