License Server
License Servers are computers that are partly or completely dedicated to store and manage licenses. If you attempt to connect to a device the Citrix product requests licenses from a License Server. Every Citrix product environment must have at least one shared or dedicated License Server. Servers running Citrix products contact the License Server to obtain licenses.
If you connect to a Citrix product, it draws licenses from the License Server. The Citrix product requests to check out a license from the License Server on behalf of the user or client device. When the license is checked out, you can access a product’s features and functionality based on the license type and edition.
Note:
Citrix ADC and Citrix Gateway do not obtain licenses from the Citrix License Server. For more information about the product-specific licensing, see Product-specific licensing information.

Depending on the size and configuration of your product deployment, you might deploy licensing on a server shared with other applications, a dedicated License Server, or multiple License Servers. For more information, see License optimization.
License files must be on the License Server that is associated with the product you’re licensing. The product must be configured to communicate with that specific License Server. The Citrix Licensing Manager lets you manage and monitor your Citrix licenses by providing a user interface to the License Server. You can view licenses and alerts, import license files, create historical usage reports, and manage License Server settings.
