Citrix® licensing is a system of components that functions together. Before you use any of your Citrix products, learn about licensing components. The Citrix licensing system includes:
-
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.
-
License files - The license file is a text file containing the product licensing information. It includes License Server name, license expiration date, and other information.
-
Citrix Licensing Manager - The Citrix Licensing Manager is a web-based management console for Citrix Licensing. For more information, see Citrix Licensing Manager.
-
License Activation Service - The License Activation Service (LAS) is a new cloud-based licensing solution that provides an alternative to the traditional Citrix® legacy licensing. LAS introduces new modules for activation of Citrix products, ensuring a seamless and modern approach to license management.
-
Licensing Services - The Citrix Licensing service is the Windows service responsible for the following core licensing functionality:
-
Citrix Web Services for Licensing

Citrix Licensing Support Service

Citrix Licensing WMI
