Well at the moment we are most the way through a 1.8 to xpe upgrade and we
are running in mixed mode. At present on the 1.8 side of the farm, clicking
on all listed servers in citrix server admin shows Local subnet pooled on
263, in use 151 and available 112. The total number of users licenses on
1.8 machines totals 30 users, therefore it must be using the 1.8 licenses
that are still activated on the recently upgraded mf xp machines.
On the xp side clicking on licences in the management console and then
connection shows a count of 233, pooled in use 0 and 233 available. BTW 233
matches the number of licenses we have (1.8 and xp) loaded on the xp farm,
that includes some activated and some not.
What worried me during the upgrade process was that the xp sied would not
have enough licenses as we upgraded each server, however that did not
materialise as xp seems to not care about licenses during mixed mode
running.
Cheers
