I've got a pair of PVS farms that are pointing to the same license server that is being used for CVAD, but there aren't any PVS licenses showing in the Licensing Manager......am I losing the plot or does PVS consume CVA licenses rather than specific PVS ones?

I haven't touched PVS licensing in ages but I noticed this in passing on a client site a few weeks back...

Yeah that's what I was expecting, but I only see this

Quite possibly. Do you have access to their Citrix portal/account to see what's in there?

Sadly not

It could be that the Premium SKU includes PVS. I struggle to keep track of all the licensing changes Gaaaaa

Advanced / premium included a entitlement for PVS

Think you might be on the money there......

if you right click a target device / properties and look at the status tab u will see the licensing status

Yep the premium and advanced should cover it. Also target devices would be throwing warnings if there was an issue.

Depends on the PVS version -- as of the latest LTSR CUs and CRs, PVS started consuming PVS licenses BUT we also changed the backend so that those of you with PVS entitlements would get license files that have both CVA AND PVS licenses -- you "just" need to return and reallocate your licenses to get the updated license files.

On a related note.....do PVS licenses when assigned via the Premium SKU count towards the total license utilization on the license server?

Well, as of 2402-CU1, 2311 onwards, we have backed out the checking out of PVS licenses per target and reverted to the old behaviour of using the presence of a suitable CVAD license to consider PVS targets licensed (with no checkout). More on this later...
