Host Bill Sutton is joined by Todd Smith of Citrix and XenTegra Solutions Architect Randy Price to unpack Citrix’s move to the License Activation Service and what it means for on-prem environments. They explain who is affected, why Citrix is modernizing licensing, and how to prepare without disruption. You will hear version requirements, air-gapped options, firewall considerations, and what happens if your license server goes down. The team also covers often-overlooked entitlements in Universal Hybrid Multi-Cloud and how a quick micro-assessment can surface value you already own.

What you will learn

  • What changes on April 15, 2026 and who needs to act
  • How LAS reduces license file headaches and improves visibility
  • Required versions for CVAD, License Server, NetScaler, PVS, XenServer, and UniCon
  • How to register and validate connectivity to Citrix Cloud
  • Air-gapped “dark mode” path and when approvals apply
  • Local Host Cache behavior if the license server is unreachable
  • A practical plan: discovery, version gap analysis, upgrades, testing

Guests

  • Todd Smith, Account Technology Strategy Manager, Citrix
  • Randy Price, Solutions Architect, XenTegra
