Cannot use Qlik Sense Desktop in local mode

[larry_w_]

Hi,
I just downloaded and installed Qlik Sense desktop, but when the application started I was forced to log in and apparently I cannot create any local applications.  Though the shortcut says "Qlik Sense Desktop", the application when started says "Qlik Sense Cloud".  Creating an application immediately uploads it to the cloud.  I see no way to save an application locally and not use the cloud.

I have downloaded Qlik Sense desktop previous versions and this was not an issue.  It was possible to build local applications and upload them, but you weren't forced to do so.

I work in a bank and the information is sensitive.  We do not wish to use the cloud but would like to use Qlik Sense on-premises, so the current download is entirely unacceptable.

Thanks

Hi,

what is Qlik Sense version you are using?

Hi Ajay,

I just downloaded today (11-Oct-19).  I think it is version 13.42.1, September 2019 release.  I have downloaded multiple previous versions and they didn't lock you into the cloud.  I suspect it is a marketing move which I hope they will reconsider.

Thanks

I am also using the same version & I didn't have this issue.

I'll look in to my different machine for the same & update you.

Hi Ajay,

Unfortunately that didn't work.  I clicked "Register" and created a new account, but still when Qlik Sense starts I have no option to work in local mode.  I've checked all of the controls and the extremely limited options don't have any way to change this.  I think this was a recent change by Qlik and they haven't thoroughly tested.

Totally locked into cloud

Have you tried reinstalling it fresh?

This is for desktop version

Hi Ajay,

Unfortunately I work at a bank and everything is locked down, so it's a big deal to get something installed or reinstalled.  I suspect this might be the issue.  I may not have appropriate permissions on my PC for Qlik Sense to run properly.  I checked the log files, but that was not helpful.  I think Qlik Sense starts and finds that it cannot perform actions necessary to work in local mode so just goes into cloud mode.  A colleague of mine is having the same issue, but I can't find anything about it in the forums.

Ifi recall correctly I was on 3.2 version & I faced a similar issue it was solved by reinstalling fresh i e. Uninstall old one n install a fresh copy
