1Y0-312 Migration and Cloud Integration Practice Question
An administrator is migrating an on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 site to Citrix DaaS. The on-premises site uses a Citrix License Server to license the VDAs. After migration, the administrator wants to ensure that licensing continues to work. What must the administrator do?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that the on-premises License Server can still be used or that a new one must be deployed.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Ensure that the Citrix Cloud account has the appropriate user/device licenses assigned.
After migrating to Citrix DaaS, licensing transitions from on-premises to cloud-based subscription licensing. The administrator must ensure that the Citrix Cloud account has the appropriate user/device licenses assigned to cover the migrated environment. On-premises License Servers are not used, and Cloud Connectors do not handle licensing. This ensures compliance and continued operation.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Deploy a new Citrix License Server in the resource location and point the VDAs to it.
Why it's wrong here
In Citrix DaaS, licensing is handled by Citrix Cloud, so a new on-premises License Server is not required. The VDAs do not need to point to a local License Server. This option is incorrect because it adds an unnecessary component and does not align with the cloud licensing model.
- ✓
Ensure that the Citrix Cloud account has the appropriate user/device licenses assigned.
Why this is correct
Citrix DaaS licensing is subscription-based and managed through Citrix Cloud. The administrator must ensure that the Citrix Cloud account has the necessary user/device licenses assigned to cover the migrated users and devices. This is the correct action to maintain licensing after migration.
- ✗
Install Citrix Licensing Manager on the Cloud Connectors to manage licenses.
Why it's wrong here
Citrix Licensing Manager is not installed on Cloud Connectors; it is a component for on-premises License Servers. In Citrix DaaS, licensing is managed through the Citrix Cloud portal. This option is incorrect because it applies an on-premises tool to a cloud scenario where it is not used.
- ✗
Continue using the existing on-premises License Server by configuring the Cloud Connectors to forward license requests.
Why it's wrong here
Cloud Connectors do not forward license requests to on-premises License Servers. Citrix DaaS uses cloud-based licensing, and the on-premises License Server is not used. This option is incorrect because it misrepresents the licensing architecture and would not work.
