Desktop license for server app

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi,

A client asked me to modify one its Qlikview Apps. He is using a Qlikview Server and 10-15 staff are using this app. I am OK with Qlikview but have so far worked only with the free - personal edition. Now I have 2 questions :

#1 - Will the Desktop Edition @ 1,300$ give me access to the developer functionnalities required to modify this app ? And once it is modified, will my client be able to use it with its QlikView Server ?

#2 - How do I buy a Desktop license ? The Qlik website redirect me to the French sales service ... Can't I buy this license online with a credit card ?

Best

Olivier

1. Yes, such a license will give you all you need. But if you work on-site for your client perhaps you can lease a license from their Qlikview server. For that to work their server should have a free named user license available for you and the option license lease should be enabled.

2. You can't licenses online afaik. You'll have to contact a sales representative (or perhaps a Qlikview Partner can help you purchase a license)

What is QlikView Personal Edition?

The full version of QlikView Desktop (not a trial version)
Free of charge and license key is not required
With QlikView Personal Edition you are free to create QlikView documents for personal use
It is possible to upgrade to a newer version

What are the limitations of QlikView Personal Edition?

It only works with local documents
Cannot share your QlikView documents with other users
Cannot load QlikView documents from other users
Cannot import an entire document layout into QlikView Personal Edition, e.g. sheets, objects, security settings without data
DO NOT attempt to open QlikView documents that you did not create, such as documents from the forums or created by a colleague

IMPORTANT: QlikView Personal Edition is limited to four recoveries per installation

What happens if we acquire a full QlikView license?

The license key is applied on the existing installation, either through a proper QlikView Desktop license or by leasing a license from QlikView Server
The QlikView Personal Edition installation will become a full QlikView Desktop installation without requiring any additional software

Is QlikView Personal Edition supported by Qlik Support?

Users with a valid license key are entitled to support
No license key? Please use QlikCommunity where you can find examples, ideas and answers

You are welcome! Unfortunately, Qlik doesn't offer a personal server and publisher version.
