FYI on Required Citrix Licensing upgrade. http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX108655&searchID=39819356 -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Berny Stapleton Sent: Friday, March 02, 2007 7:39 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: PS 4.5 upgrade? or PS 4 Malcolm / Andrew, I am working on a project in the same situation. We are about to go down that track, it's actually a Metaframe XPe to PS migration. We haven't made decision on 4.0 or 4.5. We are just about to do project brief and design, so I guess we will go from there. Berny > Malcolm, > > > > We're in a similar boat.
