That is why the CTX article and the other articles walk you thru adding XA into 
DD since by default it only handles and works for XD.

Yes, but at first appearance it was not 100% clear...

"Desktop Director provides a detailed and intuitive overview of XenDesktop 
environments"
Vs.
"Desktop Director provides an overview of XenDesktop hosted desktops and XenApp 
sessions"
Vs.
"Desktop Director is truly a great tool and so Citrix now extended Desktop 
Director for XenApp 6.5 and newer (you can see how XenDesktop and XenApp are 
slowly converging)."
Vs.
"Desktop Director 2.0 allows connections to both XenDesktop 5.5 and XenApp 6.5. 
The default installation is only configured for XenDesktop connections"

It sounds like it is new to XA, and should work w/ possibly some tweaks... just 
not as straightforward as some might think.

Anyway, I just wanted to check w/ our resident expert.
:)
Thx!

If I'm only using XenApp will DD still be of any use?
Thx

How can I say this without breaking NDA?  I wouldn't worry too much about 
EdgeSight.  I would spend my time with the new Desktop Director.

You can download it but it will not work without the proper XenApp/XenDesktop 
product edition license.

Excellent info! Thank you VERY much.
Is EdgeSight another paid product?  Or free download/addon?
