Move Qlikview to a new computer

marsmike — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

My computer is dying and I just bought another one. I am running Qlikview 11 and want to move my Qlikview applications to the new computer.

What is the process to do this?

Thanks,

Mike

I would recommend copying all of your QVWs, QVDs and any other QlikView files onto an external hard drive and then copy them to the new computer. FYI, QlikView 11 is no longer supported. I would also recommend upgrading your QlikView version to the latest May 2021.

Thanks for your reply.

But sorry, that doesn't really help much. So far the only thing I can find in the community says that you have to "recover" the QV documents but there is no information on how to do that.

I can't believe that there isn't step by step documentation on how to do this...

Hi @marsmike,

Its always helpful to be as specific as possible when asking for help on the Community. Now that we’re aware that you’re speaking of QV Desktop Personal Edition Recovery of documents, we can attempt to assist you. Have a look at the Qlik online Help entry QlikView Personal Edition & the QlikView Personal Edition FAQ.

Best Regards
