Citrix Sends Rescission Letters To Customers

Wednesday, 02 May 2007 by Michel Roth

Brian Madden has an interesting little article up on the fact that Citrix seems to be sending their customers rescission letters when they upgrade to PS4.5. Since English isn't my native language I have absolutely no idea what "Rescission" means. I figured it was about cutting people up with scissors multiple times... then again, why would Citrix do that? ;-) Brian knows:

"According to my Google searches (and I am not a lawyer), a rescission letter means that the sender wants to rescind, or take back, a contract. It seems that these are typically used if something unfair has happened with regards to a contract, and one party wants to rescind the contract based on that.

In the world of Citrix licensing, Citrix is making customers who want to upgrade sign a letter saying that they will rescind all of their existing Citrix licenses before they are allowed to get new PS 4.5 licenses.

And if that isn't enough, Citrix is asking partners to police this process to ensure that customers delete their old licenses, reminding them that making sure customers don't steal licenses can help lead to more sales."
