How to import a Qlik Replicate license without using the UI (Windows)

[MartinBurgos]

This document explains how to upload the license using a powershell/CMD terminal.

1. Download your license.txt file
2. Open a powershell terminal with admin permissions and move to the folder that contains the license 
   
   
   
   
3. Open a notepad, copy the following python script, and save it with the name “txt2json.py”
   

   import sys
   import json
   
   file_path = sys.argv[1]
   
   with open(file_path, 'r') as file:
       contents = file.read().replace('\r', '')
   
   lines = contents.split('\n')
   
   data = {}
   
   for line in lines:
       if '=' in line:
           key, value = line.split('=')
           data[key] = value
   
   result = {"cmd.license": data}
   
   json_data = json.dumps(result,indent=4)
   
   with open("./license.json", "w", newline='\n') as output_file:
       output_file.write(json_data)​

   
   
   
   
4. Run the script in the powershell terminal
   

   Python.exe .\txt2json.py <#path-where-the-license-is-located #e.g. C:\Users\user\Destop\licence.txt#>​

5. You’ll see a new file is generated (license.json).
   
   
   
   
6. Change the directory to the Qlik Replicate folder in the powershell terminal
   

   cd <#path-where-replicate-is-installed #e.g. C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\bin #>​

7. Connect to the replicate server
   

   repctl.exe connect​

8. Import the license.json file
   

   repctl.exe [-d <replicate_data_dir>] importlicense license_file=<location>license.json​

Hi 
Is there any similar solutions for importing license like that for Qlik Sense?

Hi @mghazian,

Unfortunately, no. 

I have reviewed this with a QDA TSE, and they mentioned that it's not possible to do so.

Please feel free to request this feature through our ideation forum [1].

Kind Regards,

Martin
