Before You Buy
- If you need full local compatibility (printing, specialty drivers, Windows-only apps), choose Windows (Intel/AMD x64).
- If you prefer Apple macOS, we will onboard the device with our management & monitoring as part of an XDEVICE – PC Edition subscription. Ensure your macOS version supports Citrix App Protection (Monterey or newer).
- Devices that cannot support Citrix App Protection may be blocked or restricted to limited access modes.
- When in doubt, contact your IT team or XSTRA Technical Services on 1300 555 920 before purchasing.
