Report Log Decryption
Hi,
I'm using FlexNet Licensing v11.16.2.0 to manage a few different Autodesk product licences. I've configured it so that it writes Report Logs (.rl) to disk, but I am unable to read them due to their encryption/compression. How can I decrypt/view these logs (or not have them encrypt at all)?
Thanks!

Hi Lawrence,
Report logs are encrypted and cannot be read by a person, but are used by FlexNet Manager to produce reports.
Usage data in report log files is encrypted and, as such, provides a relatively secure method of tracking end-user usage.

@lawrenceCT , have you considered using the "Server message-based diagnostic" functionality added recently in FNP toolkit? It's not exactly like the 'report log', but quite parallel.
Here is a KB to refer: https://community.flexera.com/t5/FlexNet-Publisher-Knowledge-Base/License-Server-message-based-diagnostics-101/ta-p/180268/jump-to/first-unread-message

Thanks for the info @abhayparashar!
I'm not actually a vendor/publisher (simply a license consumer), so I'm not sure if this is something I can take advantage of?
