Citrix licenses locked in use on your license server, how to release them …

So after the test phase in your XenDesktop project you move from test environment to a new Production Farm keeping your license server.  If you used a lot of test-accounts during this initial phase you might want to release the licenses so real users can start using them.  Below the procedure on how to do this :

  • Logon to your Citrix License server (RDP)
  • Open a command prompt and “cd” to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\Licensing\LS”
  • If you type : “udadmin -list” you get a list of all checked out licenses
  • Next you need to release the license with next command :
    “udadmin -f  <Xendesktop Platinum/Enterprise, …>> -user  <<username>> -delete”
    So in our example this wil be :
    ” udadmin -f XDT_PLT_UD -user jerry -delete”
  • Each user license assignment needs to be released separately.
