Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Administration — Question 4

Scenario: A company maintains a XenDesktop infrastructure with a stand-alone license server. Recently, the license server had a hardware failure and can NO longer communicate on the network.
The license server has a valid license file with a current Subscription Advantage (SA) date on it.
What will happen to the XenDesktop environment with the license server now offline?

Answer options

• A. Users will immediately be unable to connect to their resources.
• B. The license server will enter a 30-day grace period in which all user connections will work.
• C. Users will have limited connections available during a 30-day grace period.
• D. The license server will enter a 90-day grace period in which all user connections will work.

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is B because when the license server goes offline but has a valid license, it triggers a 30-day grace period where users can still connect to their resources. Options A and C are incorrect as users will not be immediately unable to connect and will not have limited connections during this period. Option D is wrong because the grace period is 30 days, not 90.
