About XenServer® Licensing

October 14, 2025

Contributed by:

XenServer requires a Citrix License Server to connect to the License Activation Service in Citrix Cloud and verify your XenServer entitlements. For information about how to install and run Citrix Licensing, see Citrix Product Documentation.

If you are using XenServer to run your Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops or Citrix DaaS workloads, XenServer is now an entitlement of the Citrix for Private Cloud, Citrix Universal Hybrid Multi-Cloud, Citrix Universal MSP, and Citrix Platform License subscriptions for running your Citrix workloads. Read more.

To use XenServer Trial Edition, you do not require a license or a Citrix License Server. For more information, see XenServer Licensing.
