XenDesktop Licensing

Citrix XenDesktop offers customers the flexibility of a per user or per device licensing model that aligns with today's enterprise-wide desktop usage scenarios. Both licensing models are based on the total number of users or devices that access the software, regardless of whether or not they use the software simultaneously. To determine the number of XenDesktop licenses needed, customers need only determine the total number of users or devices that will access the software.
