Good Moring,

my name is Stefania and I'm writing you from Italy.

I'm going to install QlikView Server 10 by my company, I've an important question: Can I try to install QVS on a virtual machine in order to test everything and later re-istall everything an our production machine? I'll lose our license qith the fist installation?

Thank You.

Have a nice day Stefania 🙂

Hi,

Yes you can try installing Qlikview Server on virtual machine, but if you want you can directly install on server, in most cases there are no chances of any installation error, if you have followed all the prerequisite for installation. Like Administrator account, .net framework 3.5 or higher is installed.

As far as license is concern, you will not loose if you use it on virtual server, but you have to stop all the qlikview server related services on virtual server before applying the same license on production server.

For errorless installation go through the server installation process.

Hi,

In addition to what Kaushik say, there is a convenient button in the QlikView Enterprise Management Console, System, Licenses, QlikView Server, "QlikView Server License", that allows you to "Clear License" when you have finished your tests and you want to make sure your license number is available. It's highly recommendable to use this button before starting the production installation to clear all information and avoid conflicts between VM and production server.
