So basically Citrix is changing the license format from licenses for individual 
products to a single license.   Our reseller informed me of this today.  There 
is a "trade-up" program where you can trade in a single standard license 
(unnamed) to two named licences.  For my agency, this really sucks, and this is 
no great deal for my agency.  I have at least a 1:3 user to license ratio for 
XenApp, since many users are part-time, or some work-night, others day, and the 
load and license usage balances out.  Now with "named user" licenses we need to 
purchase a license for every single user.  
 
I know part of this is to push XenDesktop.  I've looked at it and really can't 
find a place for it here.
 
As if XenApp isn't already expensive enough, now this.
