This article contains information about the increment line in Citrix Virtual Desktops Licensing. XenDesktop has been rebranded as Citrix Virtual Desktops

Background

Because of different technical requirements for Citrix Virtual Desktops deployments, Citrix Virtual Desktops licenses appear twice on your License Administration Console based on these two increment lines in the license file:

INCREMENT XDS_ENT_CCS
INCREMENT XDT_ENT_CCS
INCREMENT XDS_ENT_UD
INCREMENT XDT_ENT_UD
Where,
CCS – Concurrent System
UD – User/Device System

To allow Citrix Virtual Desktops licenses' to work with all Citrix Virtual Desktops deployments, the license is configured with two different increment lines:

• INCREMENT XDS
  The first increment line (XDS) is compatible with XenDesktop 3, 4 and 5 however; not with XenDesktop 5 Service Pack 1 and XenDesktop 5.5.
• INCREMENT XDT
  The second increment line (XDT) is only compatible with XenDesktop 5 Service Pack 1 and XenDesktop 5.5.

Note: Per the End User License Agreement (EULA), only the amount of users purchased and the type of license purchased can be used, that is, if 10 User/Device licenses were purchased, the selection of User/Device licenses must be selected when configuring the product on initial setup and although the two separate line items display in the License Administration Console, only 10 users will be consumed.
