From Citrix Forum :

In case anyone comes across this thread like I did, I had a similar problem with XenDesktop 3.0 after replacing PVS 5.0 with a PVS 5.1 server.

To resolve it, I had to upgrade the license server to the one included on the PVS 5.1 install media, and regenerate a new license file, remove the existing XenDesktop licence file, and apply the new one.

Did you remember to restart the Provisioning Services ? I had the same issue, and at first forgot to restart the PVS. Depending on your license, you can also try to change the type of license, DataCenter / Desktop license in the PVS Console.

I’ve updated the license server to 11.6.1 with no success. I still receive the message that the system will shutdown after 5 minutes which it does. Any other thoughts? I’m using evaluation licenses which were fine prior to uninstalling PVS 5.0 and installing PVS 5.1. All other functionality in the PVS Console works as expected.

Or you can just change the proxy.xml file without messing with certificates. See my Briforum session slidedeck for more info. Http://www.brianmadden.com & sign up for the Briforum group to download.
