What is WinFrame Licensing?

WinFrame licensing is separate from Microsoft licensing. There are two types of WinFrame licenses:

Base licenses

Add-on licenses

The WinFrame Base license enables the multiuser features of WinFrame. If the WinFrame Base license is not present, only one concurrent logon is supported. Every version of WinFrame comes with a Base license.

WinFrame Add-on licenses enable additional WinFrame functionality; for example:

Additional concurrent users (User Add-on Pack)

Load balancing across multiple servers (Load Balancing Pack)

Strong ICA encryption user the RC5 algorithm (SecureICA Option Pack)

Add file server, print server, and Macintosh support to versions of WinFrame without those services (Server Option Pack)

A WinFrame license is a serial number that is entered using the WinFrame Licensing utility. When you enter the serial number, an 8-character code is appended to the license number, which makes it unique.

All WinFrame licenses must be activated by entering an activation key. An activation key is a number obtained from Citrix that validates and enables the WinFrame license. Until a license is activated, it is not completely installed. Some licenses have a grace period after installation, where they will work for a time with periodic reminder messages. If the license is not activated during the grace period, the license is automatically disabled. See the Activation Guide and Quick Activation Guide included in your WinFrame package for information on how to obtain an activation key from Citrix.

WinFrame user licenses are pooled by default. If server A has 15 user licenses and server B has 15 user licenses, a total of 30 (15+15) licenses are available for use by either WinFrame server. For example, server A could use up to 20 licenses as long as server B is using no more than 10. You can adjust how many licenses are allowed to be pooled on a given server. WinFrame servers that pool licenses must be on the same network.

 Adding a WinFrame License

You can add a paper license (from a serial number card) or a diskette license (from a WinFrame license or Add-On Pack diskette). Once you apply a diskette license, it cannot be transferred back to the diskette.

2.	The Enter License Serial Number dialog box appears.

Type the serial number exactly as it appears on the serial number card. If you enter the serial number incorrectly, an error message will appear. Click OK when done.

3.	A message box appears containing important information about your WinFrame license. Read the information in this box carefully and click OK when done.

4.	The new license, with an 8-character code appended, now appears in the license list.

To add a WinFrame license from diskette

1.	Insert the WinFrame license diskette in the diskette drive.

2.	In WinFrame Licensing, select Add From Diskette from the License menu or click on the Add From Diskette button on the toolbar. The Add License from Diskette dialog box appears.

Select the diskette drive and click OK to apply the diskette license.

3.	A completion message appears. Click OK.

Note

Once a diskette license is applied, it cannot be uninstalled to diskette.
