Configuring ICA Session Services
Before you use the information in this section to configure your ICA session services, be
sure you have read "Understanding Session Services."
ICA session services can be made available on the network using either Windows 2000 or
2003 Server with Terminal Services and one of the following installed:
• Citrix MetaFrame XP
• Citrix Presentation Server
Use the instructions accompanying these products to install them and make sessions and
applications available to the thin clients sharing the server environment.
Note
If a Windows 2000 or 2003 Server or Citrix XenApp 5.0 with Windows Server
2008 is used, a Terminal Services Client Access License (TSCAL) server
must also reside somewhere accessible on the network. The server will grant
a temporary (120-day) license on an individual device basis. Beyond the
temporary (120-day) license, you must purchase TSCALs and install them on
the TSCAL server (you will not be able to make a connection without a
temporary or permanent license).
