If you buy only server you get one type of LEF, if you buy server with publisher you get another type of LEF. You have to pay extra for publisher. Publisher doesn't come free with server. If you buy publisher as well, they will provide you a different LEF.

It is about licensing. Once you install server(without publisher license) you can just update your LEF that has publisher enabled content(it has to be bought separately from Qlik), then you get publisher features by restarting the services without reinstallation.

Hi,

The publisher component is part of the standard QlikView Server software installation, but is activated by purchasing it from Qlik who will give you a new LEF licence for Server+Publisher.

Publisher then extends and enhances the abilities of ‘QlikView Distribution Service’ ,there is a white paper on the community somewhere about the differences.

You can also install server and publisher on separate machines, contact Qlik and they will provide you with a Server LEF and a publisher LEF. This is useful to move the reload processing workload onto a dedicated reload server.

LEF is the Licence Enablement File, or licence and control number as supplied by Qlik when you place the software order.
