![]() The reality here is that a shocking amount of you running XenApp 6.5 have actually been EOL (End of Life) for quite some time now.Ĭitrix can be cryptic at times but the reality is the Lifecycle Matrix has been published for some time now. That all said- let's get into the basics of what you need to know about XenApp 6.5 going EOL and also about 7.0-7.13 CR going EOL all on the same day! What Do You Need To Know about XenApp 6.5 EOL And wow… did I do a lot of 6.5 designs after that!
