Unity.Entitlements.Audit.log

@AbrahamDUnity @Charles_Beauchemin I'm tagging both of you because I have no idea who in Unity Technologies could be concerned by this.

I was exploring my file system like I do once in a while and I found this "Unity.Entitlements.Audit.log". It's dated 01.09.2019 and contains 149 lines with different dates. I found it at the root of the drive where Unity and Unity Hub are installed, in my case "H:\". The most recent lines read:

Code (CSharp):

I'm going to delete it and see if it comes back.

 

The log is back after I closed Unity Hub.

 

What is this audit file?

 

Thanks!

 

It's not Unity Hub related. I just did another test:

1. I deleted "Unity.Entitlements.Audit.log",
2. I started Unity Hub (it was completely closed),
3. I quit Unity Hub by just closing the window, the log didn't reappear,
4. I quit Unity Hub completely from the tray, the log didn't reapper either,
5. I restarted the Hub and launched a project I'm working on with 2019.3.0b2 and the log reappeared immediately,
6. I closed the project, deleted the log and launched a project I'm working on with 2019.2.4f1 and the log didn't reappear.

This issue is for @Charles_Beauchemin then.

 

It's still there, appeared after I started 2020.1.0a7. It's been inherited from the 2019.3 beta versions.

 

It's still there with 2020.1.0a9.

 

Just saw this document and did a search, which led me here. It's on my storage drive.
What exactly is this doc for?

 

It's apparently used by alpha and beta versions of Unity to check your licence at start. It shouldn't be visible.

 

Got it. Thank you APSchmidt.

 

Hi and my belated thank yous for the info.

I just noticed that I also have a "unity-entitlement-audit.log" file in "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Unity". You'll notice the slight difference between the names of the two files.

The last entry in "unity-entitlement-audit.log" is dated 2019-08-26 16:43:06.274j, here it is:

Code (CSharp):

1. 2019-08-26 16:43:06.274 - INFO  - Unity.Licensing.Client.Audit.LoggerAuditService || Entitlement requested: Entitlement Context: [2404f4ba-29a4-453a-a7af-3e51b33389dd], User Agent: [UnityEditor/2019.3.0a12 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; fr)], Protocol version: [1.0], Session Id: [db7627a8-ee98-4b8e-9826-9eeb20bdd59c], Entitlement requested: [com.unity.editor.watermarks.trial], Result: [granted: False, group: ]

 

Still there on starting 2020.1.0a11.

 

Thank you for your arswer. When will it be fixed then? The next Alpha version?

Right now, there is no Unity.Entitlements.Audit.log there (I had deleted the old one).

 

I just tested 2019.3.0b9 and it appears that that file is nowhere to be found after creating a project with that version, neither in my disk drive's root directory nor in "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Unity".

No Unity.Entitlements.Audit.log nowhere either after starting a project with 2019.2.11f1.

Why would 2020.1 need it when other versions of Unity don't?

 

Okay, this is weird. After testing 2019.3 for which I had deleted the Unity.Entitlements.Audit.log, I started two projects created with 2020.1.0a11 and the file wasn't recreated neither at the root of my disk nor in C.

I'm positive that I had deleted the file before starting 2020.1.0a11 because I wanted to make sure that it would come back, or not, before reporting here.

It seems that testing 2013.3 beta fixed the problem... but how could it be?

 

It seems to be fixed in 2020.1.0a12. I cannot tell if it's also fixed in the 2019.3 beta versions because I'm not testing them.

Thanks for the good work!

 

I just found one at the root of C:\. I suspect it was put there by 2020.1.0a12. I found the one created by 2020.1.0a13 at its normal place: "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Unity".
