Licenses

Last published : Sep 30, 2026
Starting from NetScaler Console service release 14.1-21.x, the concept of licensed VIPs is removed. An unlimited number of VIPs are now available in NetScaler Console service. You no longer have to purchase NetScaler Console virtual server licenses because VIP license SKU will be End of Sale (EOS) and End of Renewal (EOR) shortly.
The changes to NetScaler® Console service storage are as follows:
  • NetScaler Console service storage SKU will be End of Sale (EOS) & End of Renewal (EOR) shortly.
  • The default NetScaler Console service storage entitlement is now 5GB.
  • Any NetScaler Console service storage purchased in the past is honored until the term ends.
  • Any NetScaler Console VIP licenses purchased in the past that entitled you to a proportionate entitlement of NetScaler Console service storage are honored until the term ends.
  • If you purchase a different package that entitles you to a higher NetScaler Console storage entitlement, the default 5GB is changed to match the entitlement.
Note:
If you have purchased a virtual server earlier, 500 MB of storage applies per virtual server until the end of the subscription term.
