Assigned Qlik Cloud licenses and entitlements can be deallocated using the Qlik Command Line Interface. This method is specifically useful when the user with the allocated entitlement or license is no longer visible in the system and can therefore not be configured in the Management Console.
Resolution
- Download and configure the Qlik-cli
- Open PowerShell or UNIX shell
- Run qlik license assignment ls to obtain a list of currently assigned licenses:
[
{
"created": "2023-04-03T11:24:05.101Z",
"excess": false,
"name": “Enzo Bearzot”,
"subject": "auth0|12345678”,
"type": "professional",
"userId": “userid1”
},
{
"created": "2022-08-17T11:50:04.647Z",
"excess": false,
"name": “Vittorio Pozzo”,
"subject": "auth0|910111213”,
"type": “analyzer”,
"userId": “userid2”
},
{
"created": "2022-08-17T11:50:04.647Z",
"excess": false,
"name": “Ferruccio Valcareggi”,
"subject": "auth0|14151617”,
"type": "professional",
"userId": “userid3”
},
{
"created": "2022-06-07T11:36:15.704Z",
"excess": false,
"subject": “18192021”,
"type": “professional”
},
{
"created": "2022-06-03T13:50:14.105Z",
"excess": false,
"subject": “22232425”,
"type": "analyzer"
},
]
- Identify any user whose license you want to remove.
There is a higher probability that you'll find them among the users who have no "name:" and "userid:" fields.
- Construct the following string for each user:
The syntax below is for Unix shells. For usage in Windows Powershell add a "backslash" before each "doublequote" sign. '[{"subject"... will have to become '[{\"subject\"...
'[{"subject":"USERSUBJECT","type":"ASSIGNEDLICENSE"}]'
Example: Using the last user in the list provided above, the string would be:
'[{"subject":"22232425","type":"analyzer"}]'
-
Feed the string into this command:
.\qlik.exe license assignment delete --delete STRING
With the example above you will run:
Example using the last user in the list above:
.\qlik.exe license assignment delete --delete '[{"subject":"22232425","type":"analyzer"}]'
-
Run the command and wait for the result.
A status returned as 200 will confirm the removal worked:
% qlik license assignment delete --delete '[{"subject":"22232425","type":"analyzer"}]'
[
{
"status": 200,
"subject": "22232425",
"type": "analyzer"
}
]
-
Verify the allocation was removed by navigating to the Qlik Cloud Management Console's Home section.
