the admin guide explicitly states to upgrade the licensing server first and 
also advises against running a mixed 4.0/4.5 farm. If you're running multiple 
farms from the same licensing server the 4.0 farm will still get licenses from 
the 4.5 licensing server as 4.0 & 4.5 use the same license file.

Ok...and how will that hurt my PS 4.0 servers using the citrix licenses?

 

Makes me nervous.

I think that you need to install the 4.5 version of licensing server.

 Have found, upgrading PS 4.0 to PS 4.5, that my licensing server is too old?

Guys

 

I know this is fairly early for definitive answers but hoping somebody has some 
good ideas.

 

We are embarking on an upgrade now from XPe to PS 4.x.

 

We had planned to go to 4 and then 4.5 later in the year.  We were anticipating 
that the 4.5 release would be a bit late but they have surprised us with the 
release before the end of 1st quarter.

 

Our pilot is not due to start till the end of March.

 

Thought as to use PS 4 or rather 4.5 to save us some time later in the year.  
Concerned about using the latest bleeding edge technology.  After all citrix is 
not known for it's pristine bug free software at the first attempt.  Thoughts 
on if we did go with 4.5 and had problems, citrix turn around time on fixes?  I 
guess I'm thinking a pilot is a good time to find the issues and as long as we 
have good turn around on fixes it shouldn't be too bad.

 

Anyone got any good feedback already about how smooth 4.5 works  or plans to 
implements rapidly?  Any one been running the beta for a long time and found it 
quite reliable?

 

I've also heard rumours that moving from 4 to 4.5 is not quite as easy as say 
going from PS3 to PS4  as there are that much more components and configuration 
to think about.  Is this true?.

 

Thanks Malcolm
