Did i see someone confirm that you could license NetScaler with built-in agent now? Would that work on the latest 13.1 ? 62. somethingorother?

Depends on the license. Fixed bandwidth or cpu are licensed directly.

I wrote a blog previously about it, but I have not updated it for LAS. It does require at least one NetScaler Console Service Agent in your environment somewhere to have the License Server Agent (LSA) designated to it to work. I should go test and update the blog.

So, if you just have one NS in Azure.. you're screwed, and would need to deploy an ADM in Azure

Technically I have to disagree. Doesn't matter if NSC or NSC-Service, I have licensed some demo and test-Netscaler via LAS (flexed from ULHMC) within the built-in agent, without any issues. If it's supported, thats another story 😄

i would certainly try it before deploying one

According to a NetScaler PM who ran a tech session for us, you should now be able to license using the built-in agent without needing a dedicated NetScaler Console Agent VM. I tried testing it in my lab and it didn't work on the first go, I'm yet to get back to it and try again though.

Thanks. I also have not had a chance to test

Interesting. Do you have an LSA? Not sure how a license could be issued without at least one agent acting as the LSA.

No LSA in my lab setup. Yeah that's what I queried with them as they showed a diagram with the built-in NS agent talking directing to Citrix Cloud, and I specifically asked if an agent VM was needed for licensing in this scenario and they said no. But like I said, it's not working in my lab so I'm yet to be convinced.

I can't test as the only console’s I have already have an LSA.

i may have to test this one in production...
