Remove embedded CAL

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

On one of our Documents we have a Document CAL Embedded value of 1. Is there a way the embedded CAL can be removed for this document? I do not see any options within the QEMC. We are using QV10 SR4.

Thanks

Have you tried this?

QMEC-> User Document->Click on yourapp-> Document CALs->

if below this

Name	Last Used (UTC)	Quarantined Until (UTC) ^*

use is listed then click X sign at the end then refresh

then restart ther qlikview server from Services

start->run-> services.msc-> qlikview server-> restart

Note: It will go into quarantined mode, i.e. if the user does not access withing next 24 hours, it will be actually deleted.

This does not work. This is what the QEMC displays at the moment:

Document CALs are not applicable. Reason:

Document CALs available on server: 100

Document CALs not allocated on server: 18

Document CALs allocated to this document: 0

Document CALs embedded in document: 1

Document CALs assigned to users: 0

Hi Nilesh,

If it's embedded, then you will have to remove it from the document using QlikView Desktop, using the Tools menu, Remove embedded.

Hope that helps.

I am using Qlikview v10 SR4 and I do not see this option when using Qlikview Desktop.

Hi,

Yea, if your license doesn't allow you to embed a license it will not allow you to remove one.

How can I tell if my license allows embedded licenses or not? If my setup does not allow embedded licenses, how does a license get embedded to a document? Does anyone know how to release the embedded license? This is preventing me assigned document CALs to this document.

Change the data model in the script, e.g. by removing one table completely (commenting the Load). Then run the script. Now the embedded CAL should be gone.

Then you can restore the script and run it again.

Hi Nilesh,

In the QlikView Server or Desktop local license, you should have a line that reads

SPECIAL_EDITION;EMBED_LICENSE;;

If you don't see it in either the Server or the Desktop, then you are not allowed to remove that license.

Hope that helps.

I do not see this line. So is the only way to resolve this is to delete the pgo files and re-assign the document CALs?

Nilesh,

The only way to remove this is to make the original creator of the file remove the embedded license, as this is something that is not stored in the server files, unless this is some kind of bug.

Is there a way I can find out who the original creator of the file is?

Hi,

If there is no signature in the file itself, a logo or something, I don't think so.
