MetaFrame XP 3 on W2K server 1

[lb63640]

Our company has merged in with another, and now management thinks Citrix is fabulous, although they didn't want to invest in Subscription Advantage while the window of opportunity was open and MF XP3 wasn't on the EOL/EOM/SOL list. They want to add 35-45 users into our Citrix mix. We were running 15 licenses, and usually had 5 - 6 available at any given time.

I'm at a loss and need a shove in the right direction. We're running SBS 2000 as our domain controller and terminal services license manager.

Here are my questions:

Can I even get licenses for MF XP3? If so, where? And do I need to get the same number of TS CALs to match? (All connecting users will be W2K or XP).

As you can see, it's been a while since I've had to think about this as Citrix runs without a burp and we hadn't planned on growth like this!

Thanks in advance!

You'll need 3 things to be compliant:

PS XP license, TS License and a Windows Server license for each user connecting to Citrix. You may want to check with your local Citrix rep to see if they sell the XP Citrix licenses any more, but my guess is you may have to upgrade. The new Citrix PS licenses may be backwards compatible as well..

Lack, thanks for input. A star goes to you

FINAL SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM:

I talked with the folks @ Citrix.

At no charge, they will upgrade my server to PS 4.5, and quoted me a decent price to upgrade my XP connection licenses to the correct version (including Subscription Advantage) through some special promo that is good through August 15, 2008.

Then, I need to buy additional licenses from a reseller if we go with the extra number of users.
