2.3.1. Licensing XenServer
When you install XenServer it starts in an unlicensed state. When it is unlicensed, there are no restrictions on its
functionality or features, with the exception of the application of hotfixes using XenCenter. In order to receive
Citrix Support, XenServer hosts must be licensed.
XenServer hosts are licensed on a per-populated socket basis and all hosts in a pool must be licensed. Mixed
pools of licensed and unlicensed hosts will behave as if all hosts were unlicensed.
• To license XenServer, you must download a license file from Citrix.com and install one of the following Citrix
license servers:
• The Citrix License Server Virtual Appliance. This is a Linux-based virtual machine that you can import into
your XenServer environment. If you choose this license server, you do not have to run installation or require
a Windows license to host the license server.
• Citrix License Server. You can install a Windows-based Citrix license server. Directions for this method are
found in Citrix eDocs.
Both license servers are available from the XenServer Downloads page.
After adding the license file to the License Server, use XenCenter > Tools > License Manager to apply a license
with a host or pool.
For detailed information on Licensing, see Chapter 9, Licensing XenServer in the XenServer Installation Guide.
