existing XenApp or <strong>XenDesktop</strong> 4 environment. Note: <strong>XenDesktop</strong> 4 is licensed under a user,<br />

<strong>XenDesktop</strong> 4 user, device, or concurrent licenses be deployed to a single<br />

concurrent licensed deployments of <strong>XenDesktop</strong>. Note: <strong>XenDesktop</strong> 4 is licensed under a user, device<br />
or concurrent model. Best practice is to version upgrade your entire environment to <strong>XenDesktop</strong> 4 to<br />
simplify management of licensed users and devices.<br />

licenses be deployed to a single license server?<br />
A: Yes. Customers can continue to utilize the same license server to support XenApp concurrent and<br />
<strong>XenDesktop</strong> user, device or concurrent licensed deployments. Note: <strong>XenDesktop</strong> 4 is licensed under a<br />
user, device or concurrent model. Best practice is to version upgrade your entire environment to<br />
<strong>XenDesktop</strong> 4 to simplify management of licensed users or devices.<br />
Q: Can I deploy multiple editions of <strong>XenDesktop</strong> 4 licenses on a common<br />
license server?<br />
A: Yes. The License Server can manage licenses to enable <strong>XenDesktop</strong> 4 Express, VDI, Enterprise<br />
and Platinum editions simultaneously.<br />
Q: How do I authorize users to receive the correct resources necessary?<br />
A: In mixed environments using a common license server (multiple editions, versions or products),<br />
user access is determined by your directory services infrastructure (such as OU in Microsoft Active<br />
Directory).<br />
