File based licensing system EOL notification

License Activation Service (LAS) is the next generation technology for product activations across the suite of Citrix® products.

Note:

File based licensing system, traditionally used for activating various on-premises components, will be End of Life (EOL) on April 15, 2026.

LAS will be the only way to activate and license Citrix on-premises components after April 15, 2026. To remain supported, your XenServer® deployment must be on a LAS compatible version.
