This article covers the details of how to license a Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows server with a Signed License Key (SLK).

About the Signed License Key:

It replaces the 16 digits license key and control number.
It is a JSON Web token.
It uses secure communication, HTTPS://

To apply a Signed License Key, a secure network connection is required to be established: A signed license key requires connectivity to license.qlikcloud.com. See List of IP Addresses behind license.qlikcloud.com and lef.qliktech.com for details.

It can establish in any of the security scenarios below:

Less strict security
HTTPS port (port 443) is open
More secure
HTTPS port is open outbound only
Even more secure
HTTPS port is open outbound, limited to https://license.qlikcloud.com
Most secure
HTTPS via proxy, with or without proxy authentication
No connection
See Using a Qlik signed license in an offline environment.

All nodes in a Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows on-premise multi node environment need access to the license server.

How to apply the license:

You receive the Signed License Key via email after a successful purchase
Launch the Qlik Sense Management Console
If not immediately prompted for a license, go to License Management
Open Site License in the menu to the right
Paste in your full key. Thi sis the JSON token you received in the email.
Click Apply

Hello Support

How do we reuse the signed license key ? Is it possible to reuse the key once we decide to uninstall the environment where the SLK is used and install fresh Qlik sense in a different region or Data center ?

Thanks

Hello @tomissac

That is possible, yes. Note that the Signed License key will sync user allocation. So prior to moving servers and/or decommissioning the old server, we'd recommend you delete the current user assignments, as they will otherwise be carried over.

All the best,
Sonja

Dear @Sonja_Bauernfeind & @Andre_Sostizzo ,

I would like to ask a question regarding access to https://license.qlikcloud.com. In a multi-node deployment, do all servers (master & rim nodes) need to access the aforementioned URL? As far as I know, Qlik Repository Service runs on every node and handles licensing among other activities .

Many thanks for your time & answers.

BR,

iLiAS

Hello @ifytra,

All nodes require access, not only the central node (Qlik Sense).

I'll update the articles on this topic to clarify this. Thank you for asking!

All the best,
Sonja

We have a site utilizing an SLK license with 5 professionals, of whom 3 are presently assigned. Can we use the same SLK for a different test site and allocate the remaining 2 licenses without affecting our current site?

Hello @fabdulazeez

Both sites will reflect an identical license allocation. So you will have five licenses assigned on both systems.

Example:

You have User A, B, C in System One, where you assigned a license to them.
You have User D, E in System Two, where you assigned a license to them.

Now System One and Two list five licenses in use, for User A, B, C, D, E.

All the best,
Sonja
