Thanks…that is also how I understood it, but wanted to be sure, prior to
making the license purchase.
And these licenses can be shared across multiple CAG appliances, correct?
Recommendations on failover strategy?

No, as I said and is explained in the documentation, once the CAG is
pointed to an AAC server, the licensing function is taken over by the AAC
and the normal Citrix license server is used. The CAG stores licenses ONLY
if it is standalone (aka without the AAC add-on).

So I have to buy both CAG licenses and AAC licenses?
As I understand it, there are standard CAG licenses, which are stored on
the CAG, and Advanced, which enable AAC and are stored on the license
server.
With 4.2, advanced options, you set it to use Access Suite Console as the
administration, not the local admin, and I assume that is how it knows to
use the license server.
Am I correct?

That wouldn't make any sense because how would the CAG know what option
you chose? No, you still have to enter the proper name of the CAG when you
fulfill hte license but the license is still held on the CAG not a license
server.

I think the choice occurs at the time that you allocate and fulfill the
license file at Mycitrix.com <http://mycitrix.com/>, that there is an
option to specify a license server versus hostname. Sorry if I am confusing
this as I switch between versions and sites so often, but I am under the
impression that you do have the option to choose server based versed host in
the license file fulfillment….

the CAG when coupled with AAC doesn't need any license configuration. It
gets the licensing from the AAC servers which point to the license server.
As for the CAG, I"ve worked with 4.2 quite a bit and haven't seen any
option or documentation that states it can use the license server. If you
come across anything please let me know.

What I am trying to figure out is….
It states you use a base license and an option license…but I only buy one
license, the Advanced license for AG, which is AAC license. That points to
the license server…and I point the CAG at that…correct? So I switch the CAG
from using local admin, to using AAC server, which points the CAG to the
license server?

CAG licenses can ONLY be on the CAG.
CAG/AAC licenses can ONLY be in the Access Suite License server.

CAG licenses can either be local or in a Citrix licensing server database.
If the case you are describing, I would recommend using the Citirx license
server as the licenses are treated as concurrent and can be shared by the
two CAG units.
Also, there is a fully supported active/active mode as well which might be
of interest to your scenario….

How is licensing handled on this unit.
We intend to buy 2 (redundancy). Our plan is to use one as primary, the
other as secondary. IF main fails, it will be set to failover to the
secondary. Appears licenses are kept local to the applicance though…can the
licenses be shared so they are available no matter which appliance is in
use?
