but when i open my qlikview desktop, nothing happen

it's still on personal edition condition

Hello,

If your server is configured to allow to lease licenses, go to the Startup page in QlikView and select "Open in Server". You will see "You are leasing a license from server".

Hope that helps

Dear Kribo,

Try to open a qvw file from server from your QlikView Desktop with Open in the Server option from File menú. Automatically, the server update your licence during 30 days.

Another option is introduce a correct licence number from a QlikView Desktop version. In this case, the licence don't expires.

Best regards,

Pablo
