			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Along with the release of XenDesktop 4, Citrix announced the Trade-up to XenDesktop 4 Program. The Trade-up Program provides XenApp customers the unique opportunity to add complete desktop virtualization to their proven XenApp implementation and save up to 80% on XenDesktop 4. The Program will be available until <strong>June 30, 2010</strong>.</p>
<p>Citrix&#8217;s Trade-up to XenDesktop 4 Program provides customers a simple, low risk path to desktop virtualization for their entire enterprise. By trading-up, customers leverage their XenApp licenses to get XenDesktop 4, which allows them to do everything they do today with XenApp and deliver high-definition virtual desktops to every user in their organization. XenApp customers can trade up their licenses now, continue to use application virtualization as they always have, and add virtual desktops at their own pace.</p>
<p><strong>Three Ways to Save</strong></p>
<p><strong>1.       </strong><strong>Trade-up all your XenApp licenses at once: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Receive two XenDesktop 4 licenses for each XenApp license.</li>
<li><strong>Save up to 80% </strong>on XenDesktop 4.</li>
<li><em>For customers with active Subscription Advantage.</em></li>
</ul>
<p> <strong>2.       </strong><strong> Trade-up a sub-set of your XenApp licenses: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Receive one XenDesktop 4 license for each XenApp license.</li>
<li>Save up to 70% on XenDesktop 4.</li>
<li><em>For customers with active Subscription Advantage.</em></li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>3.       </strong><strong> Trade-up XenApp, Presentation Server or MetaFrame licenses: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Receive one XenDesktop 4 license for each XenApp license.</li>
<li>Save up to 50% on XenDesktop 4.</li>
