Citrix licensing is separate from Microsoft licensing. There are two types of Citrix
licenses:
u
Base licenses. The base license enables the multiuser features of your Citrix
server and can include a user count. If the base license is not present, ICA
connections are not supported and server extension licenses cannot be added.
Every Citrix server comes with a base license.
u
Server extension licenses. Citrix server extension licenses increase the user
count or enable additional functionality, such as load balancing.
You must activate each Citrix license to complete the installation of your
software. Some licenses have a grace period after installation, where they will
work for a time with periodic reminder messages. If the license is not activated
during the grace period, the license is automatically disabled at the end of the
grace period.
