From Houdini 19
Why is the user license information in the License Administrator garbled?

This is a new feature in the Houdini license tools. To disable:

  • via License Administrator (hey) - go to Preferences and toggle off "Scrub User Names"

  • via command line: sesictrl print-license --scrub-users=

To change back to scramble view, in the License Administrator, go to File -> Preferences ->Scrub User Names.
