Application Delivery Management

Configure expiry checks for pooled capacity licenses

You can now configure license expiry threshold for Citrix ADC pooled capacity licenses. By setting thresholds, Citrix Application Delivery Management (ADM) sends notifications via email or SMS when a license is due to expire. An SNMP trap and a notification is also sent when the license has expired on Citrix ADM.

An event is generated when a license expiry notification is sent and this event can be viewed on Citrix ADM.

To configure license expiry checks:

  1. Navigate to NetworksLicenses.

  2. In the License Settings page, under the License Expiry Information section, you can find the details of the licenses that are going to expire:

    • Feature: Type of license that is going to expire.
    • Count: Number of virtual servers or instances that will be affected.
    • Days to expiry: Number of days before license expiry.

  3. In the Notification Settings section, click the Edit icon and specify the alert threshold. You can set a percentage of pooled licenses capacity to be used to notify administrators.

  4. Choose the type of notification you want to send by selecting the appropriate check box. The notification types are as follows:

    1. Email Profile: Specify a mail server and profile details. An email is triggered when your licenses are about to expire.

    2. SMS Profile: Specify a Short Message Service (SMS) server and profile details. An SMS message is triggered when your licenses are about to expire.

When you add new licenses to the pool, the Citrix ADC instances use the new licenses on expiry of their existing licenses.
