Hello again, I learned that the host name should not be longer than 12 characters, contain only Latin characters, and the symbol "_". My host name: MI001-qliktech0

Does that mean a host name with 12 characters are alright?

Does the character limit apply to the domain name as well? E.g. the computer name is DemoQlik and the domain is johnson.local so that the full computer name is DemoQlik.johnson.local

Hi Richard,

did you find something?

I cannot apply license (even with LEF).

My computer name is QLK01 but the full name is QLK01.XXXX.local (more tha 12 character)
