What is an .ANALYSISLOG file?
An .ANALYSISLOG file is a log file created by the SecuROM copy protection software. SecuROM was a popular copy protection software used on many CDs and DVDs in the early 2000s, but it is no longer widely used.
.ANALYSISLOG files typically contain information about the computer hardware and software that has been used to access the SecuROM-protected media. This information can be used by SecuROM to determine whether the media is being used on a legitimate computer or on a pirated copy.
.ANALYSISLOG files are typically located in the same directory as the SecuROM-protected media. They are generally not harmful, but they can be annoying to some users. If you no longer need the SecuROM-protected media, you can safely delete the .ANALYSISLOG file.
Here are some examples of when you might encounter an .ANALYSISLOG file:
- You are trying to install an older game or software program that uses SecuROM copy protection.
- You are trying to run a SecuROM-protected CD or DVD on a computer that has different hardware or software than the computer that was used to create the media.
- You have a pirated copy of a SecuROM-protected CD or DVD.
If you are getting an error message when you try to open an .ANALYSISLOG file, it is likely that the file is corrupted or that the SecuROM copy protection software is no longer installed on your computer. In this case, you can try to reinstall the SecuROM copy protection software or you can try to delete the .ANALYSISLOG file.
