An upgrade may well incur Microsoft Windows, Office and RDS CALs license costs, but if youРІР‚в„ўve got current Citrix Subscription Advantage (or your SA elapsed after the release of the version you want to migrate too РІР‚вЂњ see point 3 above) you have full entitlement to the latest version of XenApp and/or XenDesktop.

XenApp or XenDesktop? The answer may be surprising, just because youРІР‚в„ўre only running XenApp doesnРІР‚в„ўt mean you have XenApp licenses. YouРІР‚в„ўve got a bunch of XenApp or XenDesktop licenses, but are you making the most of your existing investment? To figure this out you will need to find out 3 things: What Citrix product are you licensed for?

Pat yourself on the back for your wise purchasing decision. Great, youРІР‚в„ўre an existing Citrix customer. Jason Poyner, Technical Director, Deptive.
