QlikView Desktop Client: AccessPoint in Desktop defaults to wrong client from version 12.80

Opening QlikView Documents from the AccessPoint directly in the QlikView Desktop leads to the document being launched with the wrong (AJAX) client.

Previously, documents would automatically launch with qvp:// and use the Desktop client as the default.

Clicking the View details link lists only three clients:

Ajax client, Internet Explorer plugin, Mobile client

Previous versions would list the QlikView desktop client:

This behavior was changed between 12.70 and 12.80. To reenable the previous default:

Open QlikView Desktop
Go to Settings
Go to User Preferences
In the License section, click Clear License Information
Close the QlikView Desktop
Open a Windows File Explorer and go to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\QlikView
Open settings.ini
Modify the settings.ini by adding the line SupportLeaseLicenseForDMSMode=1 below the [Settings 7] section

Example:

[Settings 7]
SupportLeaseLicenseForDMSMode=1
.... other settings ....
Save the changes to the settings.ini
Open QlikView Desktop and open the AccessPoint; any documents will now open directly with QVP://accesspoint/path/documents.qvw.

If the steps did not succeed:

Verify that you cleared the license beforehand
Verify if SupportLeaseLicenseForDMSMode=1 is still present in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\QlikView\settings.ini
The settings.ini file may have been overwritten by a different version of QV.exe that was active while the changes were made. If this is the case, close all QV.exe instances and repeat the steps.
