Without license you won't be allowed to open files created by others( at most four times you can do so).

Yes, this is how personal edition is supposed to work. When you open/recover a file created by others you get a new user key(internally). Then you can't open the one you created yourself because that is by now having a different key. For details :

"Should you change computers, you will not be able to open your previously created documents with Qlik-

View Personal Edition. In this case, you can choose to recover your files. Recovering files means a new user

key is generated, assigned to the old document and used for all subsequent files, not only for that particular

file. After recovering a file, you can no longer use it on the computer that you created it in.

QlikView will accept 4 user key changes in a document. After that, you will get the error message “Key

length has reached its maximum” and the document will not open any more. The only possibility is to recreate

it from scratch.

Therefore, you should not recover QlikView documents that you did not create (from a forum or from a colleague,

etc.). Doing so will use one of your remaining recovery attempts."

You running with qlikview personal edition.

To open file you need license version.

Hi,

The only option is just use binary load from the old to new qvw and then start doing your UI again.

Yes........... if you format the OS and try to recover the qvw ..it will work

Yes, but you have to use recovery option then. Your one out of four recovery chanes would go but good thing is - for one recovery you would get all applications back since they have same key.

You mean system restore?

No, application recovery. After reinstallation (post formatting/OS reinstalltion) when you would try to open app, you would be asked to use recovery option, and you have to accept it for once.
