Citrix Licensing License Usage

Robert French Hello,

Just a quick question

If I have 10 licenses on a single Citrix server. I have 9 Citrix clients accessing it and working fine. I then log into the console (i.e. standing in front of the machine) to run something. While logged into the console, another user tries to start a citrix session but gets told there are no licenses available

So, does me logging onto the console take a citrix license? doesn’t sound right, but can’t see how else the last license has been used


super pippo console sessions should not be consume licenses. Be careful that RDP connections can use your citrix licenses.

Use lmstat -a to verify which clients are currently using licenses.


Robert French It is strange

Lmstat reports all the licenses are used. Gives MAC addresses of the clients, is there a way of getting it to produce the users who have the licenses?

Also Terminal Services Manager reports 9 people are using ICA-TCP and the Administrator is logged onto the console.

Terminal Services Manager reports what I would expect it to be, but no sure how accurate it is regarding Citrix sessions
