Frequently asked questions

How does Citrix Universal differ from hybrid rights?

With Citrix Universal subscription, organizations are able to use both IT-managed Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and Citrix DaaS cloud services for the duration of their subscription. This is different from hybrid rights where organizations had a limited timeline to migrate to the cloud. Additionally, organizations can run their Citrix Universal environments on-premises, in IT-managed “lift and shift” public cloud, private cloud, or with Citrix DaaS cloud services. They are also able to mix “customer-managed” components with cloud services.

What editions of Citrix DaaS and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops are available with Citrix Universal subscription licensing?

Citrix Universal editions include features from both Citrix DaaS cloud editions and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops on-premises editions. Here are the details:

  • Citrix Universal Advanced includes Citrix DaaS Advanced and Citrix Virtual Apps Advanced
  • Citrix Universal Advanced Plus includes Citrix DaaS Advanced Plus and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Advanced
