There are no limitations in terms of time or functionality in QlikView Personal Edition, however there are a
few aspects to observe regarding the handling of QlikView documents. In QlikView Personal Edition, every
document is saved with a user key that binds that file to the computer it is created on. This implies:
l QlikView Personal Edition can only open files created using that particular copy of QlikView. This
means, with QlikView Personal Edition you cannot use your QlikView documents on different com-
puters, you cannot share your QlikView documents with another unregistered user, or open a Qlik-
View document from another user (exempted are documents specially prepared for personal use by
QlikTech). However, documents created in QlikView Personal Edition can be used with a licensed
copy of QlikView desktop and they can also be published on a QlikView Server.
l You cannot import an entire document layout (sheets/objects/security settings, etc. in XML format,
without the data) into QlikView Personal Edition.
Should you change computers, you will not be able to open your previously created documents with Qlik-
View Personal Edition. In this case, you can choose to recover your files. Recovering files means a new user
key is generated, assigned to the old document and used for all subsequent files, not only for that particular
file. After recovering a file, you can no longer use it on the computer that you created it in.
QlikView will accept 4 user key changes in a document. After that, you will get the error message “Key
length has reached its maximum” and the document will not open any more. The only possibility is to rec-
reate it from scratch."
