Login license in sense : how many sessions are consumed when a user moves from mobile to desktop interface ?

[jfdierckx]

We want to encourage the mobile usage of Sense.

However, how many sessions will a user consume when he opens the dashboard on his mobile device, then moves to his laptop for deeper analysis within the same hour ? Will he consume 2 sessions ?

And what happens if he logs out of his session, then logs in again within the same hour ? Will it consume 2 sessions too ?

I think not, He consume 1 login because is the same user within 1 hour

It will depend on how the "license" sessions are technically counted.

If you login from 2 different interfaces (mobile + desktop), I suppose you will initiate 2 different technical sessions ?

If you login, then logout, then login again, you will also initiate 2 different technical sessions...

Can anyone clarify how the Qlik Sense server will actually count the sessions ?

[jfdierckx]

According to what we have just heard in the licensing session, I understood the following :

- If you are an identified user, only 1 login access session will be consumed per hour, even if you connect from different devices within the same hour.

- If you are an anonymous user, you will consume 1 login access session at every login

Is this correct ?

This means however that an anonymous extranet can become very expensive, and it will be difficult to manage a guaranteed access, since the number of connections will not be precisely predictable.

Confirmed, 2 different interfaces (mobile + desktop)  consume only one login access. Until 5 devices are supported.

But with the anonymous login there is no chance to do that? With anonymous if one logout and login again on the same device, count that 2 token, correct?

[Fredrik_Lautrup]

That's correct,

anonymous users will consume a login access at every new login.
