Symptoms
If the License Server contains two license files and the RESERVATION command in the “CITRIX.opt” file is used, licenses are reserved twice.
Cause
The License Server reserves licenses every time it finds a line with the following license:
INCREMENT MPS_ADV_CCU CITRIX 2006.0830 permanent 2000.
If the user has two license files, two such licenses may exist. Therefore, the License Server reserves the licenses again, one per line.
Resolution
The RESERVATION line allows for the specification of the Subscription Advantage Eligibility Date. This is separate from the type of license.
Therefore, adding “:VERSION=2006.0210” to the INCREMENT line at the end of the license type provides flexibility.
For example:
Two license files contain the following licenses:
INCREMENT MPS_ADV_CCU CITRIX 2006.0830 permanent 30.
-And-
INCREMENT MPS_ADV_CCU CITRIX 2006.0829 permanent 30.
If a user types the following line:
RESERVE 40 MPS_ADV_CCU HOST_GROUP TRM
The License Server reserves 40 licenses from the first file and 40 from the second. Therefore, when the License Server attempts to reserve 80 licenses, the following error occurs on the License Server:
2:01:45 (CITRIX) RESERVATION of MPS_ADV_CCU for HOST_GROUP TRM exceeds license count - ignored.
Instead, type the following lines:
RESERVE 30 MPS_ADV_CCU:VERSION=2006.0830 HOST_GROUP TRM
RESERVE 10 MPS_ADV_CCU:VERSION=2006.0829 HOST_GROUP TRM
This reserves 30 licenses from the first file and 10 from the second.
