Abstract: This paper examines the procedural and logistical challenges associated acquiring the installation media for Citrix XenServer 7.6, a hypervisor version that has entered the End-of-Life (EOL) phase. It discusses the official deprecation of the software, the subsequent removal of public download links from the vendor (Citrix), and the transition to the open-source successor, XCP-ng. The paper aims to provide a technical overview of the download process, security implications, and best practices for sourcing legacy hypervisor software. XenServer 7
