Allocating and downloading licenses
Consider the following points while using the Citrix Licensing Manager to allocate and download licenses:
- As a prerequisite, ensure that you have internet access or a configuration with a proxy server.
- Once you click Allocate > Download, you cannot cancel it. If this action fails, use My Account at citrix.com.
- The Citrix Licensing Manager doesn’t support redownloading or reallocating of license files. You can return licenses on citrix.com and use the Citrix Licensing Manager to allocate them again. For redownloading, use My Account.
- If you rename the License Server, you must reallocate any license files allocated under the old License Server name.
