Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Administration 1Y0-204 Practice Exam

Licensing in Citrix is tied to the identity of the License Server, so when you request a license file from Citrix.com you must specify the License Server’s host name. The host name is the unique identifier Citrix uses to bind the license to that specific server, ensuring the license is valid only on that machine. Providing the host name allows Citrix to generate a license file that the License Server can recognize and consume. IP addresses or MAC addresses aren’t used for this binding, and while the fully qualified domain name can resolve to the same host, the process relies on the host name as the identifier. If the host name changes or doesn’t resolve properly, the license may not be usable on the server.
