About the Signed License Key:

• It replaces the 16 digits license key and control number.
• It is a JSON Web token.
• It uses secure communication, HTTPS://

To apply a Signed License Key, a secure network connection is required to be established: A signed license key requires connectivity to license.qlikcloud.com. See List of IP Addresses behind license.qlikcloud.com and lef.qliktech.com for details.

It can establish in any of the security scenarios below: 

• Less strict security
  HTTPS port (port 443) is open
  
  
• More secure
  HTTPS port is open outbound only
  
  
• Even more secure
  HTTPS port is open outbound, limited to https://license.qlikcloud.com
  
  
• Most secure
  HTTPS via proxy, with or without proxy authentication
  
  
• No connection
  See Using a Qlik signed license in an offline environment.

All nodes in a Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows on-premise multi node environment need access to the license server. 

How to apply the license:

1. You receive the Signed License Key via email after a successful purchase
2. Launch the Qlik Sense Management Console
3. If not immediately prompted for a license, go to License Management
   
   
   
   
4. Open Site License in the menu to the right
5. Paste in your full key. Thi sis the JSON token you received in the email.
6. Click Apply

Hello Support

How do we reuse the signed license key ? Is it possible to reuse the key once we decide to uninstall the environment where the SLK is used and install fresh Qlik sense in a different region  or Data center ?

Thanks

Hello @tomissac 

That is possible, yes. Note that the Signed License key will sync user allocation. So prior to moving servers and/or decommissioning the old server, we'd recommend you delete the current user assignments, as they will otherwise be carried over.

All the best,

Dear @Sonja_Bauernfeind  & @Andre_Sostizzo ,

I would like to ask a question regarding access to  https://license.qlikcloud.com. In a multi-node deployment, do all servers (master & rim nodes) need to access the aforementioned URL? As far as I know, Qlik Repository Service runs on every node and handles licensing among other activities .

Many thanks for your time & answers.

BR,

iLiAS

Hello @ifytra,

All nodes require access, not only the central node (Qlik Sense). 

I'll update the articles on this topic to clarify this. Thank you for asking!

All the best,
Sonja
