Qlik's Analyzer Capacity License: How to assign it and track usage

Sonja_Bauernfeind — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 12:02:05 GMT

Analyzer Capacity Licenses can be assigned automatically based on Analyzer Capacity License Rules. These rules can be set up to provide Analyzer Capacity to users, groups, or anonymous users.

This article covers what function the license type has, how to assign it, and how to track usage.

Index:

What is an Analyzer Capacity license?

The Qlik Sense Analyzer Capacity license type is automatically assigned to users not assigned a Professional or Analyzer license and consumes time during an active session with the minimum session length set to 6 minutes.

Overview:

An Analyzer Capacity license type would typically be used by users not assigned to any of the available named user types (Professional or Analyzer).
The capabilities for the Analyzer Capacity license type are similar to the current Analyzer user type and support the same features.
Analyzer Capacity is available for:
Analyzer Capacity works with both Signed License Key and Signed License Definition.

Details:

The minutes are based on a monthly subscription, which resets at 0:00 UTC time on the first day of the calendar month.
Consumption is in 6-minute blocks. No consumption during idleness.
Overage can be added to the subscription. See How to manage Overage for Analyzer Capacity.

Can time limits be placed on users or groups of users?

Re: How to Assign an Analyzer Capacity License

Sonja_Bauernfeind — Wed, 26 May 2021 12:45:41 GMT

Hello @mgranillo

There are no rules available to restrict this. Are you interested in having this as a feature implemented?

If so, then I'd recommend leaving us an idea in our ideas forum: Suggest an Idea.

Thanks Sonja. I was just curious. It's not a big issue if it's not possible

Hello,

is it possible to use the "analyzer capacity" licence in Qlikview Server May 2022 + SLK ?

or this type of licence is only for QlikSense ? we still use both

Re: Qlik's Analyzer Capacity License: How to assign it and track usage

Sonja_Bauernfeind — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 07:47:02 GMT

Hello @florent007

You can use Analyzer Capacity with QlikView! See Licensing QlikView | QlikView Help

But I admit the article here isn't very clear as it focuses on "you need to have Qlik Sense version x installed", so I will clarify this in the article. I appreciate you reaching out!

All the best,
Sonja

Curious to know what the order of licencing is in the SLK model? Professional > Analyzer > Analyzer Capacity?

Take this scenario:

A user is apart of an Analyzer access rule, but they are also apart of a Analyzer capacity rule - which licence will be assigned to them?

Re: Qlik's Analyzer Capacity License: How to assign it and track usage

Sonja_Bauernfeind — Mon, 19 Jun 2023 13:14:00 GMT

Hello @lachlanwcast

Capacity will always go last. The order you mentioned is correct.

First, a Professional license will be used. Then an Analyzer. Then a "general" pool (such as Analyzer Capacity with the modern license model or Session CAL with the old QlikView legacy licenses).

Though we do not recommend assigning a user to two rules as you need to consider possible latency issues or sync problems.

All the best,
Sonja

QlikView のアナライザーキャパシティライセンスについて

1. Analyzer Capacity ライセンスは、Professional access または Analyzer access ライセンスを持たないユーザーに自動的に割り当てられますか?

2. QlikView の QMC で Analyzer Capacity ルールを設定することはできますか?

3. QlikView の QMC で Analyzer Capacity ルールの設定ができないとしたら、QlikView はサインインしたユーザーは誰でもAnalyzerCapacity でアクセスできますか?

4. Professional access ユーザー、Analyzer access ユーザー、および Analyzer Capacity ルールは、同じ署名付きライセンスキーを使用している QlikSense と QlikView 間で共有されますか?

Hello, @Sonja_Bauernfeind !

Please consider the following scenario:

I have 20 Analyzer licenses and 01 Capacity license, in a multi-tenant SaaS/cloud environment.

I know that certain users access the Sense cloud only once a month, for a short time, so I would like them to always use the Capacity license. On the other hand, for users who consume a lot, I would like to establish them with the conventional Analyzer

How can I configure rules to meet this scenario?

Regards!

Is an Analyzer Capacity unit (6 minutes) consumed when a user-self-subscribed Sheet Subscription is sent by a schedule?

Is an Analyzer Capacity unit (6 minutes) consumed when a user-self-subscribed Sheet Subscription is sent by a schedule (Qlik SaaS)?

Re: Qlik's Analyzer Capacity License: How to assign it and track usage

Sonja_Bauernfeind — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 11:37:17 GMT

Hello @msan

Can you confirm if this is the feature you mean? Scheduling reports with subscriptions

If so, receiving the report will not consume capacity. Opening the report and navigating to the app, however, will.

All the best,
Sonja

Hi @Sonja_Bauernfeind,

in https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Introduction/analyzer-capacity-consumption.htm

it is said that 6 minutes units in Qlik Sense SaaS Enterprise are assigned per app, so if I open 5 apps on the same browser within 6 minutes, 30 minutes are allocated.

Is that true? If yes, why this policy?

Thank you very much!

Hello @GianlucaFerri

Please connect with your Partner Manager to discuss your license requirements, as they'll be able to provide you with insight and solutions.

All the best,

Hey,

Is it possible to track/monitor who is using Analyzer Capacity in Qlikview (log) ?

We cannot assign this type of license to a specific person so I would like to monitor their use to know if they need to be switched to an "Analyzer" license.

Re: Qlik's Analyzer Capacity License: How to assign it and track usage

keyrea1 — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 05:36:23 GMT

Hello,

Could you please help clarify an issue with our Analyzer Capacity license?

In QMC and the License Monitor app, we can see that we still have remaining minutes available (out of 5,000 minutes total, 4,620 have been used, leaving 380 minutes). However, users assigned to the Analyzer Capacity rule can no longer open any applications.

We tested changing one user's access type to a standard Analyzer license, and they were able to open apps without any issues.

Why are the remaining 380 minutes not being consumed/utilized by users? Is there a minimum threshold or another setting/behavior in QMC that might cause this?
