MetaFrame Access Suite Licensing

MetaFrame Access Suite Licensing

The new MetaFrame Access Suite Licensing (MASL) model introduced in MPS 3.0 and discussed at length in Chapter 4 has not changed in MPS 4.0. All of the installation requirements are still valid. A couple of enhancements to MASL improve functionality:

• Apache Web Server Support The License Management Console now runs on an Apache web server instead of just on Microsoft IIS. Apache is supported only on the Windows operating system. MASL cannot be deployed on a non-Windows operating system.

• Two-node Microsoft Cluster Support Citrix provides support for MASL operating in an active/passive cluster configuration with a shared drive. To install MASL on a clustered server, you must launch the installation from a command prompt, providing special command-line switches to the MSI installer. When generating the license file for the cluster, you must provide the full name of the cluster, not the name of an individual license server. Full details on the two-node cluster configuration are found in the latest MetaFrame Access Suite Licensing Guide.
