Citrix Licensing Telemetry data elements

This section includes telemetry data elements for the following products:

Note:

The Identifiers collected as part of telemetry data, such as user ID, device names, VDA identifier (items mentioned as scrambled), are securely scrambled at the source using one-way hashing algorithms. As a result, Citrix cannot access or read the original values.

The scrambling algorithm uses SHA256 to hash the original clear text data. Then the first half of 256-bit hashed output was converted to a base64 string.
