Emailing reports

After reports are generated, you can email them as attachments from the License Report tab. 

You can append a prefix to the file name, so that:

• the license operation team can search for license report files received in the BMC mailbox that include the prefixes provided by customers.
• customers can easily find the license report zip file in their sent mailbox .

File names are formatted as follows: Prefix_TimestampDirName_LUCU.zip. The zip file contains the report in CSV and the native file format per product, such as XML or HTML. The emailed reports are also stored in the user\EmailReports folder where the License Utility is installed.
