[THIN] Re: Citrix licensing question

you lose access to upgrades, however you're still entitled to upgrades that were released while your SA was current.
 
reinstating - citrix likes for you to pay for all of the years of SA that you didn't pay for, so if you let it expire and reinstate it 2.5 years after it expired you'll still pay for 3 years of SA to get current again. Depending on how long it's expired it may be cheaper to purchase it outright, or possibly purchase an upgrade. See your friendly reseller for possible lower-cost routes back to current SA; Citrix will only quote you the most direct and expensive route.

If a company owns some seats of CPS (lets say 50), and they let their subscription agreements with Citrix lapse, is the actual licensing and software still owned by the company?  Are they legally entitled to still use it with in-active subscription agreements? If so, what benefits are lost?  Access to upgrades?  Anything else?

If a year or more goes by without an active agreement, and the company decides they want to get the software under agreement, does it end up putting the company into a re-purchase situation or would they just be re-instating a subscription agreement?
