Activate, upgrade and manage Citrix licenses

Getting your Citrix licenses is a simple three-step process whether you are getting new licenses, participating in a product trial, renewing your Subscription Advantage Program membership, or upgrading to a higher product edition. New customers must register for a license program before purchasing Citrix products. Your Citrix partner can guide you through the simple online registration process on your personalized section of the Citrix web site, My Citrix, or even register your organization on your behalf. Your partner will then place your order, referencing your license program registration number and customer number.
