Deprecation
The announcements in this article give you advanced notice of platforms, products, and features that are being phased out so that you can make timely business decisions. We monitor customer use and feedback to determine when they are withdrawn. Announcements can change in subsequent releases and might not include every deprecated feature or functionality.
For details about product lifecycle support, see the XenServer lifecycle article.
Deprecations and removals
The following table shows the platforms, products, and features that are deprecated or removed.
Deprecated items are not removed immediately. We continue to support them in the current release, but they will be removed in a future release.
Removed items are either removed, or are no longer supported, in XenServer.
Dates in bold face indicate changes at this release.
| Item | Deprecation announced in | Removed in | Alternative |
|---|---|---|---|
| File based licensing | XenServer 8.4 | License Activation Service (LAS) is the next generation technology for product activations across the suite of Citrix products. Customers using file based licensing are required to upgrade to a compatible release and perform this technology transition before April 15, 2026. LAS will be the only way to activate and license Citrix on-premises components after April 15, 2026. | |
| Linux bridge network stack | XenServer 8.4 | XenServer 9 | Use the (default) vSwitch network stack instead. |
