The first time a user connects to a Citrix product (for example, the user starts a published application), the product requests a license from the license server. Citrix products seek permission from this license server to run.

the Citrix License Server is a lightweight component that can be installed on the same system as a Citrix product for smaller deployments, or on one or more dedicated systems for larger deployments.Įach Citrix product environment must have at least one shared or dedicated license server.


The Citrix licensing system involves three components: the license server for managing licenses, licenses for each product that you purchase and the monitoring and metering functions built in each product.
