model. The only limit to the number of multi-VGA adapters that you can install is
your license count.
The combination of a keyboard, mouse, and monitor attached to a port on the
multi-VGA adapter is referred to as a DirectICA station. MetaFrame treats
connections associated with DirectICA stations much like the system console; the
devices (serial and parallel ports) associated with the DirectICA station are on the
server computer itself. Any serial or parallel ports associated with a DirectICA
station are given unique device names and are treated as ports on the server
computer. Because the ports are on the server, DirectICA stations do not support
drive mapping, COM port mapping, or printer mapping.
For more information about DirectICA, see the MetaFrame Administrator’s
Guide.

License Packs
When you first purchase MetaFrame, you get one or more base licenses for an
initial user count. MetaFrame uses server-based concurrent licensing, which
determines the number of users that can log onto your server at any given time.
As your user base grows, you can purchase license packs from Citrix to expand
your user count.
Citrix MetaFrame License Packs come in 5-, 10-, 20-, and 50-user versions.
For more information about Citrix licensing, including how to pool user counts
from multiple servers, see the MetaFrame Administrator’s Guide.
