Lease a License from the Server for QlikView Desktop

If you install the wInsight Analytics Module on a server and you need to set up additional users with access to the analytics from QlikView Desktop, each of those users must lease a license from the server.

Note also that if you do not open any .QVW files on the server using QlikView Desktop for 30 days, your leased server license expires. The next time you try to open a .QVW file, you receive a message indicating that you are using a Personal Edition of QlikView. If that happens, you need to cancel the message and lease a license again using the procedure below.

To lease a QlikView license from the server, complete the following steps:
  1. Run QlikView Desktop.
  2. Click Open in Server on the File menu.
  3. In the list at the bottom of the Connect to Server dialog box, select any .QVW file.
  4. Click Open. This leases a license from the server so you can open .QVW files on the server using QlikView Desktop.
