How to add CALs to QlikView Server?

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi,

I have a QlikView Server (11) and I have purchased 5 Named User CAL and 20 Document CAL.

I have installed the server on a machine and I have the QlikView Management Console open, but i can't find out how to manage the CALs.

How do I add them?

How do I connect them to the actual user?

Thanks!

Ps. if this is not the right forum, I’d love to know which one is.

here (image) for named cal

In Genaral tab (left of Assigned Cal's) you can see the assigned cal and set some properties (Allow dynamic CAL assignment, etc....)

for document cal go to document tab (the second one), choose a document using the filter at the top or clicking + in folders and then on the right choose document cal's tab

Thanks for the response, but I want to see that I got the whole thing right.

Because there I couldn't find any formal guide on how to add users, I got this far by trial and error, but I'm not sure it is the right way.

To add users, I first need to add them to the 'Local Users and Groups' on my server, and adding 'QlikView Administrators' in 'Member Of'.

Then, to add named licenses, I need to add them under System>Licenses>Server>Client Access Licenses>Assigned CALs.

But, if I want to add a Document user, In addition to adding them in the 'Local Users and Groups', I need to go to the document in Documents>server>the document name>Document CALs, there to put a number larger than 0 in the 'Number of CALs allocated' (apply) and then add a named user by clicking on the two people symbol, and writing 'computerDomain\UserName' manually (as i don't see the name anywhere there).

Again, I'm asking this because I had to figure all that out by myself, and I wonder whether it is the right way to do so, or if there is a better way.

Thanks!
