Licensing

Starting from 14.1-21.x build, the concept of licensed VIPs is removed. An unlimited number of VIPs are now available in NetScaler Console on-prem. You no longer have to purchase NetScaler Console virtual server licenses because VIP license SKU will be End of Sale (EOS) & End of Renewal (EOR) shortly.

High Availability

The NetScaler Console server can contain VIP, CICO, and pooled capacity licenses. When the licenses are issued to a NetScaler Console server, the licenses are bound to the host ID of the server. Assigning licenses to a different NetScaler Console server is restricted.

If you configure a NetScaler Console high-availability pair as a license server, license files applied on primary get synchronized to secondary.

Note:

  • In release 12.1-50.x and later, the NetScaler Console licenses are automatically synchronized from primary to the secondary node.
