My 30 days activation period comes to the end but I'm not sure if I really have to do this activation. Does anybody know what's gonna happen after this 30 days period will be expired? What does this activation give me? Will my users be able log on?

Thanks,
Alex.

If you don't activate, don't be surprised if your server shuts down. Activation is part of the licensing and setup process. No way around it.

After 30 days no log on.

You get the Alt-ctrl-del but it will force you to activate so you have zero functionality.

So yes activate. Citrix have been doing this for like 10 years!
