Citrix is said to have made major changes to its partner program, and one of the consultants briefed on the new arrangements told The Register that when the news was delivered to a gathering of Citrix loyalists, the result was "stunned silence followed by anger and disbelief."
How to resolve Citrix license issues
One reason for that reaction is a change in licensing for partners that, we understand, will cause Citrix to charge double the price for its wares unless partners pay in advance for a year.
These goods will be packaged as "Citrix Universal for CSP" which includes "the best Citrix and NetScaler capabilities," we're told. That package sounds a lot like the "Citrix Platform" license announced earlier this month for end-user customers.
A Citrix partner of ours described the license as "all inclusive including all the bits you don't need."
