Sweet. Thanks for the confirmation. I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger then. rob ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joe Shonk Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2006 10:05 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: citrix licensing questions Should not be an issue provided you're not modifying anything in the existing farm... I typically do parallel installations of PS4 along side a production XP Farm as a migration strategy.

I want to do some testing with PS4 in regards to client performance with Flash and due to firewall rules, I want to bring it up on the same subnet as the current production farm so the PS4 MF test servers will have access to all the back-end hosts that are configured in the firewalls. Thanks! rob ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joe Shonk Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 3:26 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: citrix licensing questions This is correct. XP and PS 3.0/4.x use completely different licensing models. One does not know the other exists. For the most part, you should not have to reissue licenses for the old farm (They are already installed?).

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. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robert K Coffman Jr - Info From Data Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 4:04 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: citrix licensing questions >You can upgrade your licenses without impacting your current farm So you can have 1 license assigned to both farms?

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 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
