Access Gateway discussed in this blog is the Access Gateway based on NetScaler, which is popularly referred to as Access Gateway Enterprise. Citrix has recently announced End of Life for all non-NetScaler based Access Gateway platforms, which then makes Enterprise edition, the de-facto Access Gateway.
In this blog, Prashant Batra will discuss the two license types used on your Access Gateway appliance, the two kinds of vServers you can set up to leverage these licenses to provide standard / advanced functionalities, and an example scenario towards the end, to help illustrate these concepts in a real scenario.
License Types
Access Gateway is licensed at two levels:
- Platform License
- Universal License
Platform Licenses
Every Access Gateway (VPX/MPX) comes with a Platform license, which enables all the basic functionality in Access Gateway. After purchasing an appliance, this license is automatically made available in your MyCitrix account, and can be easily downloaded and installed on your appliance.
Platform licenses can be used to provide seamless access to:
- ICAProxy access to XenApp / XenDesktop, using Web Interface
- ICAProxy access to XenApp / XenDesktop, using Storefront (CloudGateway Express)
