Hello and welcome to this short video guide on upgrading a Qlik Sense token server to a Qlik Sense Professional and Analyzer subscription license.
Our starting point for this upgrade guide is a very simple Qlik Sense Enterprise server, which is using the token style license. That means users gain access using either a User Access or a Login Access pass. Token style Qlik Sense uses the legacy LEF license with a serial and control number activation. This will be replaced in the Professional and Analyzer model license with a Signed License Key (SLK).
Make sure that you copy or save the existing user access rules storing the rules for future reference. We will do the same for the login access rules. Copy and save the rule conditions for future reference.
When you're issued with your new Qlik Sense Enterprise Professional and Analyzer subscription license, you will be issued a new license key or a new tenant. You may continue to use the old Qlik Sense Enterprise token license for up to four months. This will allow you to stand up a new Qlik Sense Enterprise site with Professional Analyzer users in parallel, and transition over time; or do it in one big go.
In this example, we are going to upgrade an existing Qlik Sense token server using the Signed License Key to move it to the Professional and Analyzer user model. Paste the Signed License Key in the signed license box and hit apply. When the license is successfully applied, you will see the license number as well as a license summary on the summary page. In this example, we have 4 Professional Users, as well as 8,000 minutes of Analyzer Capacity per month. There are no user allocations carried over from the old token model.
We need to recreate the Professional access rules. You can create rules from scratch or copy and paste the old token rules to a new Professional allocation rule, like so. Make sure you validate the rule and then hit apply.
We will do the same thing for the Analyze Capacity access rule. Copy the old token access rule for login access and paste it in the analyze capacity access rule. Validate the rule and hit apply. A quick test will validate that the Professional user access rules are functioning correctly. And here we can see that a Professional user was successfully allocated according to the rule we've set up.
Now we will check that the Analyzer capacity allocation rule is also working as expected. Click on the license usage summary tab; and here you can see that 6 minutes of analyzing capacity have been consumed. Everything is working as expected.
