That is the limitation of qlikview personal edition

What are the limitations of Personal Edition?

There are only two limitations while using QlikView with the Personal Edition license:

  • QlikView Personal Edition works with local files only; you cannot share your QlikView file with another unregistered user, or load a QlikView file from another user.
  • You cannot import an entire document layout (sheets/objects/security settings, etc. without the data) into QlikView Personal Edition.

for this you need licence

Hi Bharat,

Personal edition cannot open a document saved by a licensed QlikView client,

If you have Qlikview Server you can lease license from that.  This is the limitation of personal edition Qlikview Desktop.

Hi bharat,
