Citrix uses an activation code-based licensing system. Every licensed Citrix product (Citrix server software or server extension) has an associated serial number. When you install the software, you enter the product’s serial number from the product’s Serial Number Sticker and get a license number. You must then get an activation code to activate the license.

The activation code is based on the product’s license number and is used by the Citrix Licensing program to enable the product. This method offers many benefits, including:

uYour system is usable immediately after you enter your activation code and your software is enabled.

uYou can obtain your activation code from the activation server any time.

uYou can activate a Citrix server remotely using an administrator account on the Citrix server.

uYou have a grace period after you install to activate your software. The grace period for all Citrix licenses is displayed when you install the license. We recommend that you use the grace period to thoroughly test your hardware and software configuration. After you are sure your system is set up properly, you can permanently activate your Citrix software.

See the CD liner notes for information on getting an activation code.
