I have installed QlikView 11 personal edition on my home system. I have created few QVW files and everything went well until I have tried to re-opened the same files. I can't re-open the files and I did not even close QlikView instance nor restarted my system. Then I have thought this is something to do with lincensing. So I have uninstalled, restarted the system and re-installed the same. Then I have tried the same... created new QVW files (Not opening old files from old installation). These brand QVW files I can't re-open them once I close them. I am getting the generic error message and I am not sure if there is a registry setting to clear the lincenses. Please can someone help on this issue?</SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Miguel/ John/ Karl/ Erich - Any suggestions?</SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Thanks in advance.</SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Cheers - DV</SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;"><IMG alt="QlikView x64 Personal Edition_2011-12-28_20-34-17.png" class="jive-image-thumbnail jive-image" onclick="" src="https://community.qlik.com/legacyfs/online/9922_QlikView+x64+Personal+Edition_2011-12-28_20-34-17.png" width="450" /><BR /></SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;"><BR /></SPAN></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 28 Dec 2011 20:41:15 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Unable-to-open-my-own-QVW-files-QV-Personal-Edition/m-p/327803#M120713 IAMDV 2011-12-28T20:41:15Z *** Unable to open my own QVW files (QV Personal Edition) *** https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Unable-to-open-my-own-QVW-files-QV-Personal-Edition/m-p/327804#M120714 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I know next to nothing about licensing, personal edition or v11.&nbsp; I installed v10 personal edition at home for personal use, but have not had any problems reading my own personal files.&nbsp; I assume you're saying that the message is wrong and that you have not used the recovery feature repeatedly?</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 28 Dec 2011 21:03:43 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Unable-to-open-my-own-QVW-files-QV-Personal-Edition/m-p/327804#M120714 johnw 2011-12-28T21:03:43Z Re: *** Unable to open my own QVW files (QV Personal Edition) *** https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Unable-to-open-my-own-QVW-files-QV-Personal-Edition/m-p/327805#M120715 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><SPAN style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Hi John,</SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">I have used the recovery feature in the past.

So even if you open your own file which you have developed using QV installed long back, new QV is treating those files as files developed by another user. It will allow for few files(i guess it is 4). later it will not allow to open any file. </P><P>QV sample files can be opened by any user. I guess there is no unique key for those files.</P><P></P><P>I think the only solution is to develop new file or get developer license.

I guess I was not clear in explaining. I am not opening the files which are created by previous installation. Let's say I have opened QV and then if I save a empty QVW file on desktop or any other location. Then if I close the file and if I try to reopen the file immediately, I would get the above message. This is strange behaviour and I have reinstalled QV couple of times. </SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">I don't think purchasing QlikView Lincense for this reason is justified.
