The Sasser patch was released in April (MS04-11).
If you filter port 445 (RPC w/SSL), you are safe from that direction. But,
defense-in-depth dictates that you apply the patch unless you completely
trust every computer which shares the same network to NOT be infected (think
of laptops, taken home, infected, and brought back.)
AV is useless; will not catch this until the damage is already done (some AV
products might be able to identify the behavior early enough, but I wouldn't
count on it.)
I have not patched my license server, but I have patched my citrix hosts
with no evident problems.
To the people seeing the problems, have you patched your license servers,
your citrix boxes, or both?

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you
know, in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest
constraint to scaling up?! Get this free white paper to understand the
real constraints & how to overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather
than buying more servers.
