(except ODBC-connection, there you have to name a user). If you do not use SSL for communication of services, you can change the service user without reinstallation and problems. Otherwise you probably have to reinstall QVS.</P><P>Changing service user is pretty the same, as you described, no reboot needed.</P><P></P><P>Regards,</P><P>Gregor</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 06 Apr 2016 12:35:20 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/How-to-change-the-QlikView-user-for-running-Windows-services-or/m-p/1051589#M1253023 gregortvw 2016-04-06T12:35:20Z
