ArcGIS Desktop Licensing on Citrix

[GeoffChapman1]

I have been trying to do some reading around using ArcGIS Desktop on Citrix but have been unable to find an answer to the question about licencing.

As Citrix functions by running multiple copies of the same process (ArcMap.exe) on the Citrix server and assuming that we are happy with all users having the same level licence do we need to only purchase one licence for the Citrix server to access or do we need licences for each of the anticipated users?

Hi Geoff, you will need to use concurrent licensing (one license per user) and the Esri License Manager if distributing ArcMap through Citrix or another virtualization system.
