About XenServer Licensing

XenServer requires a Citrix License Server to run with a Premium Edition or Standard Edition license. 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, you must have a Premium Edition license. 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.

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

After purchasing support for XenServer you are provided with the .LIC license access code. Install this license access code on a Windows server running the Citrix License Server software.

XenServer licensing depends on the version of the XenServer product you have installed on your server. For more information, see:
