Hi Yaron,
The Virtual Client License is pretty simple. It doesn't care about Hypervisor type, and isn't enforced or checked. I remember tracking down the document that says "whatever hypervisor, we don't care" statement, but can't remember where it was .. probably the release notes at the time they brought out the feature (7.6.0??)

What we've done:
    Buy a virtual client license for each hypervisor
    Tick "virtual client" for all the VM's in the environment.
Round robin the names of the hypervisor hosts in the "Physical" file for the clients. There's no real need for this, and you could just as well enter the the same physical host name against all your clients.

Late but hope it's useful to someone.
Will

Hi all,

I have a pool of four Citrix Xen servers. I would like to backup the guests running on them. I can buy four virtual server license (Virtual Edition client connection).

  Can I use this type of license with Citrix Xen ?

What should I put in the 'physical host' field of the guests, considering the fact that a guest can land on any of the four hosts ?
