Suspicion confirmed, I didn't have a problem. I could also see a bit of
talking with Citrix customer support though to explain the situation with
them to downgrade your licenses and re-issue if you had a problem. At the
end of the day though, the people that I dealt with at Citrix were quite
reasonable and if I explained to them what was happening and that it was
obvious we weren't trying to rip them off I think they would have downgraded
/ reissued / upgraded again anyway.

We're building a separate farm entirely, so for us, the new farm will not be
"aware" of the old. My suspicion is that if you do it this way, upgrading
the license and installing it for the new farm will have zero impact on the
old farm as long as you don't change any licensing there. I can only see it
would be an issue if you had to reissue licenses for the old farm which
might get dicey if they've been upgraded.

So you can have 1 license assigned to both farms? (during the upgrade I
mean) This would be very helpful for our own upgrade....
How does Citrix manage this?

I'm not sure if anyone answered this. You can upgrade your licenses without
impacting your current farm. I did the same thing upgrading to PS4.
As far as 1.7 goes I'm not sure but I wouldn't think so. In my option the
new version of WI is easier to use anyway so I'd consider upgrading. I also
think the new WI is backward compatible with your old farm.maybe someone
more experienced can confirm that.

We have an existing Metaframe XPe farm.
We are going to build a new CPS 4.0 farm to replace it.
I need to perform the license upgrade on mycitrix.com. Will doing this
cause a problem with my old Metaframe XPe farm? It's critical that it stays
up and operational while I pre-stage the replacement farm.
Also, Will NFuse 1.7 work w/ CPS 4.0 or will I need to upgrade the web piece
at the same time?
Thanks,
MM
