Qlik Sense Enterprise, Core-Based Site license, is there a correlation between number of cores and numbers of users?

Hello,

What is the correlation between the cores and numbers of user who can connect and access Qlik Sense ? (1 core  = xxxx users ?) 

Thanks in advance

Best regards

Peter

Hi @Peter_QS 

Qlik Sense Enterprise Core-based sites are licensed based on the number of CPU Cores on which the Software will
operate. The license is administered using a License Enabling File (LEF), which limits the maximum number of
Cores on which the Qlik Software Engine and its components may operate. Cores must be licensed for the Qlik
Engine on the central node and any other node used for reloading data or providing user access to an application
supported by the Software.

I hope this helps!

Hi Vinay_B,

Thanks you for your answer. But How do I know when I have to add new CPU core ? 

Thanks

Best regards

There are no simple answer to that. How many CPU cores you need depends on many factors, such as  document seize, data model, how many users are using the system simultaneously, type of calculations, just to mention some.

There a tool you can use to calculate the best configuration for you, but it is only guidelines. See below.
