-d log-output-file

Specifies the name of the output file to which the decrypted output will be written.

-c CSV-format-file

Specifies the name of an output file to which the output will be written in Comma-Separated Values (CSV) format. This CSV file can be used with Microsoft Access to produce graphical reports. For further details we suggest you to read through Creating License Server Use Reports.

-a start-day

Specifies the first day (1-31) of the month to be included in the output. For example, if you have specified March as the start month, specifying a start day of 1 means that the output will be for a time period beginning with March 1. If not included, and the -m option is included, a start day of 1 is assumed.
