Download personal edition. You can enter your license key after you open it up.

Here is a video: 100 Second Video - How to enter the License key

The only difference is the license.

The Personal Edition gives you full Desktop Client functionality but only allows you to open QlikView apps created on your PC/laptop. Any QVW files you create with the Personal Edition are fully-functioning QlikView apps that can be opened by anyone with a license.

A paid license applied to the Personal Edition unlocks the full version of QlikView Desktop (or via a leased Named User CAL from a QlikView Server).

The difference is not just the license.

Some functions, although only a few, were disabled in the PE version in order to avoid as much as possible the exchange of QVW content with another PE version. Import/Export of various things via XML are not working in PE. That shouldn't come as a surprise though.

Hi Jingyi,

As mentioned above you need to download and install the Personal Edition and then licence it to make it a full Desktop edition. This is required to open documents created by other users.

If your company has a desktop licence key for you then apply it as above. If (as is more often the case) they have a server licence with a number of Full User CALs you need to lease a licence. If you search for QlikView Licence Lease you should find plenty of information on this. In short though:

Ensure you have a full CAL on the server (or set server to auto allocate licences)

Open Personal Edition

On the Start Page select Open In Server

Type your server name in the Address box

Click Open

Open the tree path and click to open a document you have access to

Close this document again

You should now be leasing a licence on QlikView Desktop, this is confirmed in the top right corner of the Start Page and the 'Personal Edition' text should have been removed from the title bar.

Hope this helps.

Steve

@Steve Dark - Thanks. I have seen a computer which uses a license from a server. But, I do not see it when I go to help > about qlikview. The "License Key" and "Licensed to" are blank. Is this normal ? Does this license last only as long as you are connected to the server ?

Hi John. It is normal not to see anything under the licence details when you are leasing a licence. You should see the text in the Welcome page though advising that you are leasing from a server.

The lease will automatically renew whenever you are connected to the server. If you are not connected to the server it will last for 30 days before it expires.

Personal edition is a freeware(trail version)

the apps can be opened only by the login system

the qlikview desktop is the licenced version.

the apps can be opened by any proper licenced user

Hi Steve Dark,

Thanks for the info, but it doesn't seem to work with me. Step by step i do what you explane but when i have opened and closed the document from our QV server the text "Personal Edition" isn't removed from the title bar.

I do see the tree path and i can open a qv document. So it isn't the connection to the QV server that isn't working.

Any help will be appriciated!

Thanks in advance!

With kind regards,

Tom

There are a few things that will stop licences being leased:

- You can not lease from a test server

- Allow licence lease must be ticked in QMC

- A single user can only lease to two machines

- You must not have a Document CAL on the document you are attempting to

lease from

All of these things can be checked in the QMC.

Hope you get it resolved.

Cheers,

Steve

Personal edition is a free edition without any license and it will allows you to create and modify applications on your machine and allows you to load or use few/limited number of qlikview applications developed in other machines.

In brief, Desktop edition is nothing but licences Personal edition which accepts all the applications developed in the other machine.

Thanks for the quick response! The Allow License lease wasn't checked. Does "Allow dynamic CAL assignment" need to be checked aswell?

The rest isn't a problem i think. We don't have a test server. It is up and running for customers. We haven't leased any licenses yet so the two licenses leased per user shouldn't be a problem. And the person who tries to lease has a Named CAL and not a Document CAL.

Thanks again for your time!

Hi,

You would need to tick the auto allocate if you did not have a licence to

the document. As you mentioned you could open the document I knew that

wasn't your issue. You may want to tick it to allow others to lease though.

Hi Steve,
I have been leasing to two machines and I need to replace one of them.

I "Cleared Licence" information from one of them but when I go to the new machine It does not lease .

1) Do I need to wait 24 hrs. before the new machine will Lease?

2) is there a way on the QMC (Or anywhere else) to see what machines have the lease of a specific CAL?

thanks for your help.

Hi,

Yes,

You need to wait for next 24 hours.

You can see the same information in below path.

Go to QMC--> System --> License --> Qlikview Server --> To the right --> Client Access Cal Tab--> History tab.

You will find information about your License lease and their machines.

Thanks Mohammed,

That really helped.

One thing though - because of Day Light Saving or just because of different time zone between my Machines I had to wait an extra hour 😞

I was "climbing up walls" yesterday when I realized I may have to wait 24 hrs. you can imagine how I reacted to that extra hour... 😉

Thanks again

Hi Steve,

I do have the very same error, when im connected and opened the models it hides Qlikvie Scripts,

How can i resolve please assist

If you connect to a QLikVeiw server using QV Desktop, the program will act like an ordinary but polished AccessPoint client. Since end-users are not allowed to reload a document in a client, you will not have access to the load script.

In QV Desktop, open the document QVW to access the Load script. And make sure that you have proper permissions to edit a QVW file.

Best,

Peter
