License question

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

I have a Named USER CAL assigned to me and I use Qlikview on my desktop and laptop. I lease a CAL for each of them. Does that mean that I am using a total of 3 licenses?

Is there any resource to explain how it works?

Thanks,

Amit

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I am assessing the # of Documents CALs we purchased against the # of Document CALs we assigned to dashboards and I am short of 4 licenses. Is there a way to reset everything and I'll re-assign those licenses?

i think u can do it in manually(delete access for existing users and assign to new users).

It sounds like you have deleted some documents that have Doc Cals allocated before you removed the Doc Cals.

Have a look at this post lost document cals and follow the solution suggested by Sagar G.

Thanks Colin. That was really helpful. I was able to see where the CAL was assigned but those documents were not deleted and still on the server but when I checked there is no Document CALs assigned to them but as per the CalData xml they are assigned Document CALs. Is there a way to unassign those ones?

I was able to figure it out and I got back the 4 licenses. Thanks for your help.
