  1. There are two types of grace period:
    • Out-of-box grace period is 30 days (720 hours). Initial installation of the licensing server provides startup licenses for all Citrix products. Startup licenses expire after 30 days. The 30-day countdown begins when the product prompts you for the startup license for the first time. Citrix Provisioning product licenses must be installed during this period. A startup license for a Citrix product is voided if a license for that product is installed.
    • License server connectivity outage grace period is 30 days (720 hours). If connectivity to the Citrix License Server is lost, Citrix Provisioning continues to provision systems for 30 days.

    When Citrix Provisioning is in a grace period, administrators are notified through warning messages in the Provisioning Console.

    When a grace period expires, all target devices are shut down.

  2. B. The license server will enter a 30-day grace period in which all user connections will work.

  3. CitrixVirtual Apps and Desktops uses a grace period of 30 days,
    if it has communicated with the license server at least once
