Publish Application as Standalone Executable

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone of you know how you can publish a QV Aplpication to a standalone .exe file? I've read that it's possible. It is presented as one of the availabe clients in this page: http://demotest2.qlik.com/clientinfo.html.

What I think is that only QlikTech can produce such a files por downloadable Demos in the webpage, because if we are able to create exe file, why would we need a license, or a server?

Anyhow, if you have any ideas about this, please let me know.

Thanks and have a good day.

Mike.

My understanding is the same as yours - only QlikTech can produce standalone executables because otherwise their license model would fail.

Mike,

You and John are both right, but I wouldn't have worded it as bluntly as John did!

Only QlikTech can produce applications as executable files, and this is only used to build public-facing demo applications.

*chuckle*

It's not a feature our shop wants or needs, so I have no dog in this hunt. But it comes up now and again on the forums, so there seems to be demand out there. And the feature already exists, so you've got the supply side covered. So this seems like a golden opportunity for QlikTech to make a little additional revenue while also making some customers happy. Win/win! The problem is one of pricing - how can you price such a feature so as not to break your existing license model? That looks like a pretty difficult problem to me, and I don't have any solution to offer you. Still, y'all have a lot of clever people over there. Maybe y'all will figure it out some day.

There, was that better? I'm a tech guy. I don't know this corporate-speak stuff.
