Migrating from Windows XP to Windows 10

[NicktheQlik]

We had an old Windows XP computer with QlikView that was deployed in about 2014, but it recently died.  We've prepared a new Windows 10 computer, but we don't know specifically what QlikView product was installed before and what should now be installed.  We have a .txt file with some license information, but don't know if that license can be migrated to the new computer.

The license information we have is only a couple of numbers : *****  and  *****.

QlikView doesn't seem to have technical support in the classic sense, so posting on this board seems to be my only option.

Thank you.

HI,

Your license is a valid license. you can check that on below link.

You can install the latest version of Qlikview and use it.

Also its not good to give license information in a public forum, kindly remove it.

Hello @NicktheQlik ,

The license you have shared has been expired in 2014. You can verify that in http://lef1.qliktech.com/manuallef/default.aspx.

You can still avail for a Test license for the up-gradation/migration of the said environment. Kindly contact your account manager or Qlik Support to get the test license.

Kindly keep your license related information confidential.

Good Luck

As others have pointed out, the license is quite dated. Support and maintenance was ended in 2014 (2014-12-30 to be exactly). This will likely entail needing to install an older version of QlikView Desktop in order to successfully apply the license. Qlik Products check the maintenance date on the license and will not permit installing newer software than a customer's maintenance period. This makes sense, right? You've paid for software, you get software.

For your case, the latest version of QlikView which was released before December 30th 2014 is QlikView 11.20 SR9 (released in November 2014). I'll ping you the direct link for the download since it's unlikely that you have access to the downloads portal for older versions.

Cheers
