Citrix LAS Deadline Countdown
Citrix file-based licensing goes end of life on April 15, 2026. Environments that haven't migrated to LAS will stop working. No grace period.
Citrix file-based licensing goes end of life on April 15, 2026. Citrix hasn’t published the exact failure mode for environments that haven’t migrated, but the pattern with this kind of cutoff is predictable: license renewals stop, cached entitlements expire, and new session launches drop out. Existing sessions tend to hold until they reconnect. The deadline isn’t when it breaks. It’s when the clock to break starts.
