Revoking a Citrix License

By | January 19, 2012

When you are running a user / device license each user that logs on, is assigned a license.
This license is automatically revoked after that user has not logged on into the system.

However sometimes you may manually need to revoke a license if you run out.

running this command from your license server will give you the following output

“C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\Licensing\LS\udadmin.exe” -list -a
