Chapter 1
The Starter Systems come with 20 user licenses. If you need more licenses, you can purchase
them separately in groups of 5, 10, 20, or 50 and add them to the central server. The price for the
packs depends on how many licenses are in it, but the pricing structure works more or less like
this: the retail price for MetaFrame XPs connection license is $290 with SA and $250 without;
for MetaFrame XPa it’s $345 with SA and $300 without, and for MetaFrame XPe it’s $400 with
SA and $350 without. Complete pricing information and tools for helping you find a Citrix
reseller are on the Citrix Web site (http://www.citrix.com).
If you already use MetaFrame 1.8 and you bought SA, migration to the closest-available MetaFrame
XP package is free. The match isn’t perfect (for example, someone could have bought RMS but not
load balancing—unlikely, but possible), but Citrix tells me that it’ll do it’s best to make people happy
when it comes to upgrades.
What’s New In FR1?
In October 2001, Citrix released FR1 for MetaFrame XP. When you add this optional (but
useful) upgrade, you’ll add a number of new features to MetaFrame, listed in Table 1.3.

Feature Description Application
Auto Client Reconnect
Automatically attempts to
reconnect users accidentally
disconnected from their session
(perhaps because of a line
failure).
Enable for users on slow or
unreliable connections so that if
they’re disconnected from the
MetaFrame server, it will attempt
to reconnect them without their
help.
CA Unicenter TNG® Plug-In
(XPe only)
Plug-in for using TNG for system
monitoring.
Gather information about your
network with additional tools.
Citrix Universal Print Driver
A new print driver that isn’t
printer-specific.
Allows you to support numerous
client-side printers without having
to install drivers for each printer.
Citrix Web Console
MetaFrame XP management
from a Web interface instead of
the Citrix Management Console.
Provides one more way to
manage MetaFrame XP servers.
Connection Control (XPa and
XPe only)
Limits the number of concurrent
connections for a given user or
application.
Use to make applications
available to users without letting
those applications or users crowd
out other people needing to use
the MetaFrame server.
Content Publishing
Permits you to push actual
content to the user desktop, not
just application links. Works like
publishing an application.
Add video, memos, etc to the
user desktop, updating from a
central location.
CPU Prioritization for
Applications (XPa and XPe only)
Give high-priority applications
more CPU time.
Ensures that the most important
applications aren’t robbed of the
CPU cycles they need by lesser
applications.

and Delivery (XPe only)
Group servers by operating
systems (OS) or server function
and distribute applications
accordingly.
Apply service packs and
applications to servers according
