Create one AD account for several users ?

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hey guys,

To save some CALS, I was thinking that I could ask for several users to use one AD account to log on access point and then allocate the CAL to this AD account.

What do you think ? What would happen if someone logs on Access point while someone else was already logged on? Does the first one get disconnected ?

Thanks for you advices

Hi,

Yes the session with first login gets kill and second login will be connected.

Mean while if user with first login session selects or use Application the second session will be killed and vice versa.

And secondly this is against Qlik License policy.

Hope it helps
