Can anybody provide detail of Independent Qlikview Desktop License Cost?

We need to purchase 3 Independent Qlikview Desktop License version for Small Organization.

We don't want to purchase Enterprise Server version to minimize our cost, so please provide details about licensing and cost.

Thanks in Advance.

You can download and use the Personal Desktop version at no cost for all 3 users. The issue will be that they can't share the apps created. They also can not download sample apps, etc. from the community to look at.

I don't know what a license will cost. Best to contact Qlik directly or one of their partners.

In US it is $1,350 plus first year maintenance is 20%, plus tax. Total is $1,717. This was the price in March of this year.

The maintenance is optional the next year, depending if you want to stay on current versions or not.

Go for QlikSense, less restriction then Qlikview. Cloud version is also available. In India they don't sell no of licenses less than 5 for QlikView. I inquired 2-3 times in last one year and I was told to buy minimum 5. Strange!

Are you saying that you can not buy less than 5 personal licenses?

Yes, restriction imposed by Qlik India sales office it seems. I created one thread last year here as well and found that its not true in other countries. In fact I talked to sales 2-3 months back as well and heard the same rule again. Their policies are not consistent across the world.

I guess you are referring to server side CALs? Did you ask Qlik or a Qlik partner?

I do think 5 CALs sounds like a reasonable minimum for a server deployment.

For QlikView Desktop client there should not be a minimum of 5.

License wise I am not sure if I agree that QlikView is more restrictive than Qlik Sense. The license models are simpler and more flexible in Qlik Sense.

I asked to Qlik, they said we stopped selling desktop licenses but if you buy 5 in no, we can consider.

This is weird pricing I have to say.

My interest for this topic comes from not being able to recover files from my old laptop (despite the fact that Qlik claims I can do this) and I considered an option to buy personal license, but now (after being active enthusiast over 2 years) I feel that its time to consider how to replace qlikview for my projects. Power BI grows really fast and Tableau has much more clear pricing policies and it looks like not as expensive as qlik has nowadays. Having in mind that I have to rework everything from scratch it's not a big deal to switch to another BI soft. This is how competition works actually ))).

If you are a Qlik enthusiast, I have a hard time seeing why you would consider moving to Power BI or Tableau. The reason why you like Qlik should contradict moving to anything else than Qlik Sense.

If you are already considering to rework your apps from scratch, Qlik Sense is the easiest choice for you. There is no need to rework your script, only adapt to the new UI layer. The visualizations give you massive flexibility in terms on extensions and widgets.

Qlik Sense Desktop is free of charge, with the only catch that you need to update it on every major or feature release. This only means that you will always be using the latest features and functions, and allows you to fully evaluate the capabilities and even do mashups. If price is a concern, Qlik Sense Desktop is free, which makes it a quite economic to use. The licensing model in Qlik Sense Enterprise is token based, you simply pay for what you need, which is a simple as it gets.

Qlik Cloud can also be an alternative for trying our Qlik Sense without having to install it at all.

Not allowing to buy one qlikview license for independent enthusiast is really upseting... it is pushing those who work a lot in qlikview but move on to new place that not using qlikview (maybe yet), to never look back to your past ... anyway .. good luck qlik ...
