Measures reported by CtxLicenseTest
The Citrix server supports two types of licenses- a product license and a connection license.
The product license is a license to run a particular kind of Citrix Metaframe product on
a server. A server farm must have a product license with one license
count to run Citrix server software on each server in the server farm. Metaframe XP allocates
product licenses from a pool of available licenses for a Metaframe XP server farm.
A connection license is a license for client connections to Metaframe XP servers. A server farm
must have a connection license with one license count for each concurrent client
connection to the Metaframe XP servers in the farm.
This test reports the usage of both the connection and product licenses by the Citrix server.

Assigned_licenses_in_use |
This reports the number of assigned licenses in

lower than the allocated number of assigned licenses, the
administrator may want to reduce the number of assigned licenses for
this server. |
