MetaFrame Presentation Server Reviewer’s Guide

Launching License Management Console

After adding a shortcut to the License Management Console, you can open it and 
manage licenses.

To launch the License Management Console

1. In Shortcuts to license servers, select the license server in the list.

2. Click 

Launch License Management Console on server

.

3. Enter your credentials, then click 

OK

.

4. Close the License Management Console.

For more information on using the License Management Console, continue with the 
next section.

Using the License Management Console

The License Management Console lets you manage and monitor your Citrix 
licenses by providing a user interface to the license server. You can download 
licenses, display real-time inventories of licenses, run historical usage reports, and 
monitor alerts with the console. Use the console to configure and maintain the 
license server. Because the console displays in a Web browser, you can manage 
licenses from any location on your network. You can also connect to the License 
Management Console remotely over a secure http connection.

This diagram shows three workstations with access to the Licenses Management 

Console, which resides with the license server on a single computer.
