Backup and restore Professional and Analyzer Access

Hi,

I need to change the SLK in a QlikView 12 environment.

Some time ago, I did the same operation on another installation, but I lost all user licence assignments.

I had also tried to restore the old "CalData.pgo" file, but without success.

Do you know of a correct procedure for backing up and restoring user licences post SLK change?

BR
Luigi

@Luigi_Teti are you currently using an SLK?

Hi David,

yes it's a QlikView Infrastructure Add-On to QSE SaaS SLK

@Andre_Sostizzo shouldn't a simple restore of the caldata.pgo do it?

Using a SLK license for both Qlik Sense and QlikView constitutes a Unified License, which allows both Qlik Sense and QlikView to share Professional or Analyzer user assignments between the environment. The SLK license doesn't use the previous model of .PGO files. The following Qlik Help entries has more details:
