Qlik GeoAnalytics Server installation files and data packages
Local directory accessible by the Local System account (e.g. C:\GeoAnalytics install)

Refer to this site for Certificates installation: Certificate

Download

Go to the Qlik Downloads Site

Click the Download Link

Installation

Run the Qlik GeoAnalytics Server installation file (e.g. GeoAnalyticsServer-February2021.exe)
Accept the license agreement
Use default port or change if needed.

Note: In a production environment, Qlik GeoAnalytics must be installed on a separate server from that of the Qlik Sense Server. Therefore, select ports 80 and 443 as defaults. However, when installing for a proof of concept (POC) or trial, you may install GeoAnalytics Server on the same Windows server as the Qlik Sense Server. For this scenario, change the ports from 80 and 443 (e.g. 8080 and 4430).

If configuring with HTTPS:
1. Check the Enable HTTPS option
2. Browse to the location where the client and server certificates were copied previously to the GeoAnalytics Server (e.g. C:\GA certs)
3. Enter the certificate password which was previously configured and click Next
Set an Admin user and API user password of your choosing
On the Ready to Install screen click Next
Enter an installation path (default is C:\Program Files\Qlik GeoAnalytics Server) and click Next
Note the message on changing parameters post-installation and click Next
Click Finish to complete the installation

Licensing

Launch the GeoAnalytics Server Administration Interface by opening a browser and entering http(s)://localhost:<port>/ravegeo/admin
Login using username Admin and password chosen during installation
In the left pane, select License Administration
Paste the license code (if using a Signed License Key) or the LEF (if using a LEF based license) into the text area. If using LEF, also enter the control number associated with the license
Click the Add License button to activate
Once correctly licensed, the Available Licenses section will populate and the licensed modules will be visible in the bottom left pane

Add Data Package

Refer to the Data Package Installation Guide available on the Qlik Downloads website
Extract the downloaded data packages to a local directory accessible by the Local System account (e.g. C:\GA server install)
Open the GeoAnalytics Server Administration console and select Service Administration
Click Add Services button and browse to the location of the extracted data
Select enterpriseServices.xml and click Load

The xml file contains a number of services that will show up in the window but they remain disabled. Check ENABLED for all the new services in the following order:
1. Enable all services that are not for module geoanalytics or module webmap5, service map.
2. Enable all remaining services.
If a service in the list turns red when enabled it means there was an error. You can hover the mouse over the service to read more about the error. To fix the most common errors, first make sure the zip files were extracted correctly. Then, restart each red service (disable then enable). Restarting the services should fix the most common error that is caused by enabling services in the incorrect order. Each error is also represented in the log (Server Administration -> View Log).

Confirming the Installation

Open the GeoAnalytics Server Administration console and select WebMap5 Module > Diagnostics Pages > Default map > Go To Diagnostics Pages > Simple Test

A map is displayed
GeoAnalytics Server has been successfully installed

Hello @avl_dlimi.

There was no Server release for August 2021, so that's accurate. If you are worried about compatibility, you can find a compatibility table here: GeoAnalytics server supported versions.

All the best,
Sonja
