Citrix & VDI · Pay-as-You-Go Licensing
Pay only for the Citrix licenses you use. Scale up or down month to month. Commit if it makes sense, and skip it if it doesn't. When something breaks, you call Altanora first, not a Citrix support queue.
Citrix pay-as-you-go licensing lets you buy the same Citrix licenses Citrix sells direct, billed monthly on the users you actually had, with no multi-year commitment.
Altanora delivers it through Altanora FlexDaaS, our Citrix-authorized pay-as-you-go licensing plan. It bundles OEM Citrix licenses with Altanora support. The product is identical to buying direct. The terms, the support and the total cost are what change: typically 20% or more lower than buying Citrix direct.
If any of this sounds like your Citrix renewal, keep reading.
Pay-as-you-go is month to month. Want a one-year price lock? It's optional, with a 50-user floor instead of 250. Want no commitment at all? That works too.
Buying direct means committing up front and paying for a 10–15% buffer. With pay-as-you-go, you pay for what you used last month. Seasonal staff or an acquisition mid-year? Just adjust.
Altanora is your first line: L2 and L3 Citrix engineers with a 1-hour SLA on Sev 1. We open the Citrix ticket and own the relay only when escalation is really needed.
Pricing is transparent and based on consumption. There's no mandatory annual uplift and no surprise SKU re-bundles.
Add users the week they start and drop them the month they leave, instead of waiting for the next renewal cycle.
Altanora activates and runs the capabilities you're already entitled to, from uberAgent to Secure Private Access.
