# Citrix License Server and Delivery Controller discovery

Discovery can find Citrix License Server instances and Delivery Controller components that run on Windows machines.

**Note:** For information on Probe to Pattern migration see the knowledge article [KB0694477](https://support.servicenow.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0694477).

## Requirements

-   Configure [Windows administrative credentials](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-security/r_WindowsCredentialsForm.md) to access the host machine.
-   Make sure that [PowerShell for Discovery](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/discovery/r_PowerShellForDiscovery.md) is installed on your MID Servers. The patterns used for Citrix discovery require the ability to run PowerShell commands.
-   For OS users, make sure you can execute “Get-XDSite.” The Citrix Studio Admin should provide permissions.
-   \(Optional\) For top-down discovery with Service Mapping, on Citrix Delivery Controller, install the Citrix.Broker module.
-   \(Optional\) For top-down discovery with Service Mapping, a user with permission to run PowerShell commands.
-   \(Optional\) \(Optional\) For discovering using the WinRM protocol, see [Configure WinRM trusted hosts on MID Server](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/servicenow-platform/enable-winRM-MID-servers.md).

## Patterns

Discovery uses these patterns to perform horizontal discovery:

|Pattern|Process detected|
