Citrix EOLs XenClient

September 22, 2015

Citrix XenClient Enterprise has officially started into the End-of-Life process, both as a standalone product and as a technology entitlement of XenDesktop Enterprise and Platinum editions. DesktopPlayer and Citrix Synchronizer – the management server that communicates with local VMs running DesktopPlayer – are not impacted by this announcement and will continue to be available as part of XenDesktop.

The effective date of XenClient Enterprise End-of-Sale is October 1, 2015 with End-of-Maintenance date and End-of-Life date scheduled for December 12, 2015 and December 12, 2016, respectively. Please refer to the Product Lifecycle page on Citrix.com for more details.

Given the cost and complexity of supporting large combination of hardware platforms required for XenClient Enterprise, the decision was made to retire XenClient Enterprise was based on realignment of Citrix priorities and resources towards technologies and projects that more directly contribute to the growth of XenApp and XenDesktop, especially given the cost and complexity of supporting large combination of hardware platforms.
