As of October 1, 2020, Citrix will be switching to a subscription only licensing model. Support and renewals for existing perpetual licenses will continue to be honored. Any new perpetual licenses must be purchased by 9/30/2020. After that, licenses will be on-premises subscription or cloud subscription only.
Here are a few things to consider if you currently own Citrix perpetual licenses.
Existing Citrix customers that own licenses can continue to renew their licenses. Additional licenses bought after 9/30/2020 will be sold as either on-premise subscription or cloud subscription only. A recent Citrix blog post states the following for existing customers who own perpetual licenses:
Customer Success Services: Existing customers who own perpetual licenses will be able to continue to renew maintenance — Customer Success services — on their existing licenses. (There are no changes being announced to Customer Success as part of this announcement.)
Perpetual Licenses: Existing customers can purchase additional perpetual licenses until September 30, 2020. All quotes and orders should be processed prior to October 1 to ensure processing.
On-Premises Solutions: Citrix continues to invest in our on-premises and cloud solutions. Customers can purchase both on-premises and cloud solutions in a subscription model, as announced by Citrix in June 2020.
Hybrid Rights: Existing Citrix customers looking to transition from their on-premises Citrix solution to Citrix’s cloud services have the added benefit of hybrid rights, giving existing customers the option to run their solution as an on-premises deployment or cloud service for the duration of their transition period.
Citrix subscription-based licensing will lower your initial upfront costs for new licenses. Citrix is also offering a 20% discount if you purchase a 3-year subscription license or a 20% discount on Citrix Analytics.
So, what happens after September 30, 2020?
Perpetual License – $600/user plus $150/user for annual support ($750/user for first year, $150/user for following years)
On-Prem Subscription – $415/user annually (includes support)
Cloud Subscription – $660/user annually (includes support, 25 license minimum)
