Info

Data anonymization is available only with the new licensing model Licensing Model 2019.


Info

Anonymization has no impact on licensing. The number of users/hosts before and after anonymization will remain the same.

...

To enable data anonymization for historical data:

  1. Select the Database Data  Management tab from the Administration page. (This page is visible only for License Statistics administrator users.)
  2. Under the Data Anonymization section of the Database Data Management page, select the date from which to anonymize data. 



  3. Toggle on/off anonymization of Usernames and/or Hostnames. Toggling these options on will replace the usernames/hostnames with unique hash codes as a result of the anonymization.
  4. Toggle on/off the option to populate groups with the anonymized users/hosts. If toggled on, the anonymized users will be re-added to the same groups the original users belonged to. Leaving this option off provides a higher level of anonymity, since group membership can potentially identify anonymized users.
  5. Click Anonymize. You will be asked to confirm the anonymization request. 
  6. You may cancel the anonymization at any time prior to restarting License Statistics by clicking Cancel in the message shown under Data Removal in the Database Data Management tab.


  7. Restart License Statistics.
