It is a license that provides an environment separate from production to use for data validation, application testing, and preparation/ migration of QlikView documents to new versions or releases of QlikView.
It comes in two editions, QlikView EE Test Server and QlikView SBE Test Server, both have the same features and limitations as the corresponding production servers
The watermark "Test" is superimposed on all charts (Except Straight Table and Pivot Table)

It's not possible to set up license lease with a test server license.
The watermarks "TEST" are only available with AJAX client since they are drawn on the server-side
The watermarks doesn't show with the IE Plugin because the charts are drawn on the client-side
We have seen cases where the test watermark also occurs within the IE plugin, which can appear when the app is created with QV Desktop which runs under a test license

A QlikView Test Server does not permit license leasing because it does not have any allocated licenses.
Instead, when developers open QlikView applications on the Test Server, they actually use their production QlikView Server license to develop.
It is also possible to access as many QlikView documents as may reside on the Test server (or Test server cluster) to which the Named User CAL is assigned.

Please contact your Account Manager or Contact Your Local Sales Office
NOTE: The number of CALs of a Test Server license is not automatically mirroring the number of CALs of a Production Server license. They need to be added manually via an opportunity/quote.
