What’s new in 2305

This release of Citrix Provisioning includes the enhancements described in the following sections. It includes several fixes for issues seen in past releases, and issues that we have identified.

Important:

Use the most recent version of the Citrix License Server to receive the latest provisioning features.

When upgrading Citrix Provisioning to the newest version, the latest License Server version is required. If you do not upgrade to the latest version of the License Server, the product license enters the 30-day grace period.

For more information, see Licensing.

Update licenses to enable telemetry uploads

As outlined at Required License Server Update, Cloud Software Group has updated the license requirements that require you to upload telemetry. This implementation implies that as a Citrix Provisioning customer, you must return and allocate your Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and Citrix Provisioning license. For more information on licenses, see Licensing.

Support for using PowerShell and MCLI commands to rotate encryption keys

Previously, you rotated the encryption keys using only the Citrix Provisioning console. With this feature, you can now use PowerShell and MCLI commands to rotate encryption keys. For more information, see Using PowerShell and MCLI commands to rotate encryption key.
