Migrate to the cloud

You can use the Automated Configuration tool for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops to migrate your on-premises deployment onto the cloud. For more information, see Migrate to Cloud.

Migrate legacy deployments

Migrating moves data from an earlier deployment to a newer version. The process includes installing newer components and creating a new site, exporting data from the older farm, and then importing the data to the new site.
There are no supported tools or scripts for migrating XenApp and XenDesktop versions, or migrating earlier Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops versions. Upgrading is supported for the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops versions described in this product documentation.
For earlier XenApp 6.x migration content, see the following. Neither the scripts nor the articles are supported or maintained.
  • Open source migration scripts for XenApp 6.x versions are available at <https://github.com/citrix/xa65migrationtool>. Citrix does not support or maintain these migration scripts.
