For more information, see the Citrix Access Gateway Standard Edition Integration Guide for Citrix XenApp and Citrix XenDesktop.

- Support for XenDesktop Connection Licenses. You can install license files that only allow connections to Citrix XenDesktop. When users connect, they can only establish the session using the Citrix Desktop Receiver. Connections using the Access Gateway Plug-in are prevented. XenDesktop Connection licenses are included with Citrix XenDesktop Standard, Advanced and Enterprise editions as of June 2009. XenDesktop Platinum Edition includes the Access Gateway Universal license, which enables all Access Gateway features.
- Administration Tool Backward Compatibility. When you install the Administration Tool for Access Gateway Standard Edition Version 4.6 and you have earlier versions of the appliance installed in your network, the Version 4.6 Administration Tool allows you to configure settings on the earlier version of the appliance.
