The administrator sees an error that the evaluation license is about to expire after applying valid advanced licenses. What should be done?

• A. Restart the License service
• B. Verify the host name entry in the license file
• C. Remove the evaluation license
• D. Change the product edition in Citrix Studio

Answer: (C)

Licensing must reflect only valid, permanent entitlements. An evaluation license is temporary and will expire; if it remains in the license file or on the License Server after you’ve added paid, advanced licenses, the system can still surface a warning about the evaluation license expiring. Removing the evaluation license clears that entitlement and lets the License Server operate solely with the production licenses, eliminating the expiry message.

Restarting the License service or changing the product edition won’t remove the expired evaluation entitlement, and verifying the host name in the license file wouldn’t fix an expiring license either. The direct, correct action is to remove the evaluation license from the license source.
