Problem with leasing a license

Mon, 07 Apr 2014 12:04:42 GMT

Hello everybody

I'm working on a new computer with new qlikview license.

I put the new license in the QVC and everything is good.

Somehow I'm not able to lease my license on the qlikview and it stays on personal edition.

I did the "open in server" and I have access to the document on the server but the "personal edition stays". when I open a new qlikview doc. it is a personal edition one -so i can't work like this.

I also checked the QVC and the "Allow license lease" is checked.

Anyone has an idea what went wrong?

Thank's

Hi,

Did you allow licence lease in QMC ? If not, you should do it like this :

System > Licence > Qlikview Server > CALs > General

sory for my first answer I didn't read completely your requirement. Did you assigned a licence in the Assigned CALs tab or did you tick the Allow dynamic CAL assignement.

You should also check the limitation tab which may be set to 0 or a too restrictive value

Let me know

Open Qlickview

Go to Setting -->User preference->Liecence->Chnage->Enter the liecenc number- and control number,user name[by default it takes system name] and organisation name

after entering these details , it will contact lience server and enables the liececne.

As it cotacts the lience server make sure your internet connection is on.

Hi Hagit,

You need to go under the assigned Cals and see if your UserID already has two CALS. If you do it will not allow you to lease another one until you delete one of the old ones.

Thanks Bertrand and Bill- I'm showing up in the assigned Cals (Bill- only once).

This is why I have acsses to the doc on server, but the qlikview is still on personal edition for some reason..

Vishwanatha- I did that allredy, I don't have internet connection so I used the lef text- but still: personal edition..

I believe you need an internet connection to the QV Server to lease a licence. You cannot use a LEF file to lease a licence.

Do you have any licenses available to assign/lease?

As you wrote:

I'm working on a new computer

your new computer needs to know where your server and the licenses are.

So open QlikView without open a document,

press strg + shift + o

or use file / open on server

enter the address of your QlikView Server

qvp://myserver or qvp://192.168.1.20

click connect.

As you can see a list of files you have leased a license, you can abort

Thank you Martin but I think you didn't understand the problem.

I CAN open a document from the server BUT I can't develop on qlikview doc because it dosn't recognize my license.

what is the login you are using to connect to the server ? Same as the one that has the assigned CAL ?

check out the history tab. Have you got anything like this ?

Re: Problem with leasing a license

martinpohl — Mon, 07 Apr 2014 14:26:15 GMT

Maybe you are using a document cal or a session cal to open the document on the server?

With the two cals you can open the document and filter datas ore create server objects, but you cannot open the document to develop.

Can you open the license tab in the managemant console to identify the cal type?

open an empty qlikview document, create a textbox and add =osuser()

what are the result?

Re: Problem with leasing a license

Mon, 07 Apr 2014 14:29:14 GMT

Yes, It is the same one, and yes, I have the same history tab with the line of my login

Re: Problem with leasing a license

Mon, 07 Apr 2014 14:33:05 GMT

I get my user name (The same one how has the assigned Cal)

Re: Problem with leasing a license

Mon, 07 Apr 2014 14:34:30 GMT

I have the assigned Cal and not the document Cal so it supose to be OK

did you clear your licence before ? If not, do it again and open on server a document.
