server decomissioned

irini — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 13:00:46 GMT

My company server will be decommissioned soon and we no longer have access to the Qlik. We are left with the qvw files. I tried to open them with the Personal Edition but since they were created with a corporate tool, I cannot open. What can we do because we want to explore the dashboards and the expressions formula after the end date fo the server. Thank You

As far as there is further an access to the server you could toggle to each application to export the script and the document layout as txt/xml files to get a possibility to look within sources + logic of backend and frontend. It's not very comfortable but it's a very helpful shortcut to re-create the essential data-models + dashboards not completely from the scratch within the PE.

You can start a Qlik Cloud Trial and upload the files there (if not too large for standard usage) to at least be able to see dashboard, and their expressions in read-only mode.
You won't be able to see the script, though.

Thank you, Daniele! This would be a solution but what about the confidentiality and security, is this guaranteed on cloud, since this is a corporate solution for us?
