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? _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jeff Pitsch Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 7:29 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Access Gateway 4.2 Licensing 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.

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.

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.

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? Chad Schneider Technology Analyst/Citrix Admin.
