Leasing a license using AD Groups

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

I have a number of users that need to lease licenses and I would like to use an AD group to control these named user CALs. When I put users in this group they can get a license for Access point but cannot lease a license to the desktop version of QlikView. I have tried "Allow dynamic CAL assignment" but nothing allows me to lease the license.

I am in a multiple domain environment and cannot get access to specific user names but I am allowed to see an AD group.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

To get the license for the desktop version you need to open any application from server by using "Open in server".

Then it'll automatically lease a license hence you already activate Allow dynamic CAL assignment.

Hi,

Lease license are User CALs and are assigned to a user. You can't use groups to do this.

Bill - Thanks for your response. Can you tell me why QlikView allows you to add a group to the named user CALs then?

Thanks

Hi,

I don't know why other than it is an object. However, it doesn't work if you select a group.
