description: >-
  Citrix (Cloud Software Group) sells its workspace, DaaS, application-delivery, and networking
  products through a Citrix Platform License (CPL) and product-specific subscriptions (Citrix DaaS
  Standard / Advanced / Advanced Plus / Premium / Premium Plus, Citrix App Delivery, NetScaler).
  Following the 2022 Cloud Software Group acquisition, Citrix moved to a partner-quote model;
  per-user-per-month pricing is no longer self-serve on citrix.com and must be obtained from a
  Citrix authorized partner. The Citrix Cloud / DaaS REST APIs are bundled with the parent
  subscription.
notes: No public per-user price list. Replace with negotiated list pricing once available from a
  Citrix authorized partner. Citrix discontinued perpetual licensing for most products in 2023; new
  customers buy term subscriptions.
