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

uBase licenses. The base license enables the multiuser features of your Citrix server and can include a user count. If the base license is not present, ICA connections are not supported and server extension licenses cannot be added. Every Citrix server comes with a base license.

uServer extension licenses. Citrix server extension licenses increase the user count or enable additional functionality, such as load balancing.

You must activate each Citrix license to complete the installation of your software. 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 at the end of the grace period.
