Our two QVS administrators don't have a 64-bit PCs yet and won't for some time, unlike the Designers / Developers; so they cannot install the Client software locally. They don't do any design or development but need to be able to check document properties (security, hidden script, etc.). </P><P></P><P>They use RDP to access QMC and the server itself. Is there any harm in installing the client software onto the server (running Windows 2008 R2), so they can access document properties? Would it conflict with the server installation? Or is it wiser to install 32-but clients on their PCs with reduced data so they can open the documents?</P><P></P><P>Thanks</P><P>Ian</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Can-I-install-the-QlikView-Client-Software-on-the-QVS-Server/m-p/438272#M1271097 Anonymous 2026-01-26T18:19:17Z Re: Can I install the QlikView Client Software on the QVS Server? https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Can-I-install-the-QlikView-Client-Software-on-the-QVS-Server/m-p/438273#M1271102 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>i've done this on many, many, many implementations.&nbsp; typically you would prefer to install on a 'dev' server, and leave your production server without the thick client.&nbsp; but i've worked with both.&nbsp; depends on your restrictions.&nbsp; but technically, there's no problem.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 08 May 2013 16:57:36 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Can-I-install-the-QlikView-Client-Software-on-the-QVS-Server/m-p/438273#M1271102 2013-05-08T16:57:36Z Re: Can I install the QlikView Client Software on the QVS Server? https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Can-I-install-the-QlikView-Client-Software-on-the-QVS-Server/m-p/438274#M1271105 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Agreed. Having QV Desktop on the server is also very handy when a reload job throws a cryptic error, while the same file reloads without issue on your development PC.</P><P></P><P>Scott</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 08 May 2013 17:01:15 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Can-I-install-the-QlikView-Client-Software-on-the-QVS-Server/m-p/438274#M1271105 smoon63 2013-05-08T17:01:15Z Re: Can I install the QlikView Client Software on the QVS Server? https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Can-I-install-the-QlikView-Client-Software-on-the-QVS-Server/m-p/438275#M1271108 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I always install the client in the server.
