QlikView License Issues

Hi Guys,

I have a problem about the Document CAL.

Currently my qlikview server user is identified by User Name.

For example now I have set 20 Document CALs for A.qvw

And I got one user NT\TestUser.

Senario1:

If it's available that 20 users login on 20 machines and open the QlikView Access Point website input the same authentication information

(I mean NT\TestUser and its password) and visit the A.qvw at the same time.

Senario2:

If S1 working fine what would happen if there's a 21 user who do the same thing and how is Document CALs managed in this senario.

Many Thanks.

Jia-wen.

It is my understanding that document CALs allow one user to access one document. If a second person would attempt to access this document using the same user details as the first, the first user would be logged off (at least, that's how the server does User CALs).

Thanks more exactly it will not log off the user, multiple users log on the same user credential will occur connection lost issue and will impact on data analylsis.
