[THIN] Re: Licensing

If they are launching apps from multiple servers, they should only use one license, if the client computer is the same. If they connect to a published app from a different system, then that would be a second license used.
 
There are cases where a second license is used, see the below article for details and resolutions.

Subject: [THIN] Licensing

We are using about 89% of our Citrix PS licenses right now.  Is it possible that a user could consume more than one license?  We are just using published apps so it is very common for one user (remote) to launch multiple applications from multiple servers at one time.  Are they consuming a single license or multiple licenses? 

Does the resolution on the apps matter?  In other words, if a user launches MSWord on PSServer1 at 640x480 and also launches Outlook on PSServer1 at 1024x768 would that use 2 licenses?

Thanks for all your help!!
