Product Licensing

Product Licensing

Foglight includes a licensing capability that restricts access to those features that are defined in the license. Any Management Server installation requires a license that grants access to server-specific parts of the browser interface and the features associated with them. Foglight cartridges are also license-protected. While some cartridges are covered by the base Foglight license (such as Foglight Agent Manager cartridges and Foglight for Infrastructure), others may require an additional license.

Foglight for Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp is license-protected. In this release, it comes with a trial license which is valid for 40 days. To activate your trial license, or to purchase or extend a commercial Foglight for Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp license, use the Getting Started tab on the XenDesktop Environment dashboard. For complete information about this dashboard, see the Foglight for Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp User Guide.
