I was questioning Citrix licensing...Not worried about MS TS-Cals...have tons of em. Just did a quick test and yes, you're right...Logged in as same user on 2 different PC's and launched the same app and it took 2 licenses....Just misread what Citrix was saying I guess.

What licensing are you asking about here Brian, Citrix or MS TS cal licensing? Win2k Tscals are closer in association to machines . . Then to end users. So . .5 machines log into the TS server . . Each one requires a valid TS cal. If they are all win2kpro / winXPpro workstations . . they of course have the MS TS cal for Win2k TS built in. Bill is correct in his assesment of Citrix licenses. Citrix licensing is con-current, not tied to user accounts or machine accounts. Citrix con-current licensing is tied to the amount of simultaneous sessions on a farm at any point in time. IE - you have 20 Citrix licenses . . You can have 20 con-current sessions logged into your farm, regardless of the fact that they are all using the same user account.

I thought it was 5 licenses if they were on at the same time.....5 concurrent. -----Original Message----- From: Claus, Brian [mailto:BClaus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, October 11, 2004 3:32 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Licensing Theory? Running XPe on Win2k. Hypothetical Question: I have 5 users at 5 different physical locations. Each user logs into Citrix as username: TEST and runs the same app. (what if it's a different app \ different server?) Will this take 1 license or 5 licenses? I'm thinking that it will consume only 1 license no matter what app they launch or what server they are on--as long as they log in with the same username. Everything that I can find on this supports this thought..can I get anyone to second that? ******************************************************** This Weeks Sponsor RTO Software Do you know which applications are abusing your CPU and memory?
