QlikView License

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Is there a way to get the active licenses in QlikView programatically? I need to find out who is using the dashboards, when, how long, etc. I have all the data I need except the full user name. I want to know if there is a way for my dashboard to get the info from the QV server. Thanks for you help.

If you want to know who has a license assigned then the only way is through QMS API.

If you'd like to know who is using what dashboard you can see that in the sessions log.

I agree with Daniel.

I will just add that if you want to read the logs, you can just config the QV Server Performance App that you can find here at the community:

Erich and Daniel – Thank you for your response. I’m enhancing the QV Server Performance dashboard to show the user’s full name instead of the LanID. How can I do that?

Extract the LanID and DisplayName from your Active Directory and load that table into the app. You can find samples of loading from Active Directory in the Qlikview Cookbook.

Hi,

I would include a table (it can be an excel file), with the fields LanID and FullUserName

Hope it helps,

Erich

You can query the active directory, not the easiest task.

Hi, Rob.

I saw your solution after I posted mine. Your's is much more interesting!

Thanks!
