Definition
Your Flexed license includes software instance licenses (VPX/CPX/BLX, SDX, MPX, and VPX FIPS) and bandwidth capacity licenses. To process traffic, a NetScaler VPX must check out bandwidth and an instance license from the pool.
Counting rules
Unlike zero-capacity hardware, NetScaler VPX does not require a zero capacity license; to process traffic, it must check out bandwidth and an instance license from the pool. A single NetScaler CPX instance consuming up to 1 Gbps throughput checks-out only 1 instance and no bandwidth from the license pool. Flexed and Pooled share instance checkout for software form factors; they are licensing models, not separate meters. UHMC/Citrix Platform notes: 999 NetScaler software instances of each listed form factor. The 999 figure is not a per-User ratio.
Floors / minimums
UHMC/Citrix Platform published 999 software instances of each listed form factor (product.html). Extra instances: contact your Citrix sales representative (vendor wording). Hardware MPX/SDX min/max tables skipped as HAM.
