Important:

The Citrix Licensing Manager operates automatically within the License Server for Windows. The Citrix Licensing Manager is available with the License Server VPX if you configure Active Directory and install the keytab file. For more information, see License Server VPX.

The Citrix Licensing Manager for Windows enables the License Server features using a simple web interface.

  • Displays the License Server version in the top bar of the screen. If you select the down arrow, the host name, Ethernet address, and IPvr address appear.
  • Important notifications of license availability, expiration, and other conditions. Use the bell icon at the top of the Citrix Licensing Manager screen to display notifications.
  • Configure Customer Success Services renewal license actions. You can specify whether to check automatically or manually for renewal licenses and whether you want notification of renewal licenses or the licenses installed.
