A XenApp and XenDesktop license specifies 3 things: Product, Edition, and Model. Previously, each XenApp and XenDesktop site could only consume one type of license product and model at a time. The 7.14 release of XenApp and XenDesktop now includes support for multiple license products and models within a single XenApp/XenDesktop site. The license product and models are aligned with a particular delivery group, so for example, one delivery group can use XenDesktop user/device licensing while another can be configured for XenApp concurrent licensing. This article will walk through the steps to configure different license products and models per delivery group. This article applies to of 7.15 LTSR releases of XenApp and XenDesktop.
Two new parameters for the BrokerDesktopGroup PowerShell cmdlet have been added to set the license model and edition:
Name | Value |
---|
LicenseModel | Concurrent or UserDevice |
ProductCode | XDT = XenDesktop MPS = XenApp |

eg 2: Set-BrokerDesktopGroup –Name “Desktop1” –ProductCode $null
