Qlikview Deployment Framework license error

geertrops — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

We use the Qlikview Deployment Framework with great success.

However, since IT gave me a new computer, I can't open the Variable Editor anymore. The error i get is "the license that is embedded in this document is not valid". I can still access all other qlikview apps/docs.

Does anyone know a quick fix?

Thanks!

Looks like this error: QDF 1.3.2 and QlikView Personal Edition 11.20 SR6 - Embedded license not valid

Which version of the QDF are you using? Or perhaps the license simply expired again and we need to poke mbg‌ again.

You have personal edition, you need to have a license from server.

Hi Gysbert,

I'm using QDF 1.5.0 and just upgraded to Qlikview 12 SR1. The error occured when I was still on QV 11 too, so that upgrade is not the problem.

Everything (desktop, server, publisher, QMC) is working fine, except for the QDF VariableEditor. And since that problem occured right after IT gave me a new computer, that probably caused it.

Can you tell where i can view / update the license that the VariableEditor is supposed to use?

Thanks!

Hi Staffan,

I am using the personal edition for development, but am leasing a license from our Qlikview server.

Everything else (server, publisher, QMC) is working fine right now, its just the VariableEditor.

If you're leasing a license from a Qlikview server then your Qlikview Desktop installation is licensed. You should have no trouble opening the VariableEditor with a licensed Qlikview Desktop installation, embedded license or no.

Hi Geert, the embedded license should work, download the latest framework install package (and upgrade) or try attached app instead.

Best regards

Hi guys,

I (re)leased the server license, and installed the latest package (1.5.1).

The license error is gone, and i can access the VariableEditor again. But now it gives an internal error when i try to create new containers...

I found a fix for this! >> QlikView 12 and QDF

Turns out that this second error was caused by increased security settings in QV12...

Everything works again as intended!

Thanks for your help!
