Qlik's Analyzer Capacity License: How to assign it and track usage

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

Analyzer Capacity Licenses can be assigned automatically based on Analyzer Capacity License Rules. These rules can be set up to provide Analyzer Capacity to users, groups, or anonymous users.

This article covers what function the license type has, how to assign it, and how to track usage.

What is an Analyzer Capacity license?

The Qlik Sense Analyzer Capacity license type is automatically assigned to users not assigned a Professional or Analyzer license and consumes time during an active session with the minimum session length set to 6 minutes.

Overview:

• An Analyzer Capacity license type would typically be used by users not assigned to any of the available named user types (Professional or Analyzer).
• The capabilities for the Analyzer Capacity license type are similar to the current Analyzer user type and supports the same features. 
• Analyzer Capacity is available for:
  • Qlik Cloud 
  • Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows
  • QlikView.
• Analyzer Capacity works with Both Signed License Key and Signed License Definition.

Details:

• The minutes are based on a monthly subscription, which resets at 0:00 UTC time on the first day of the calendar month.
• Consumption is in 6-minute blocks. No consumption during idleness.
• Overage can be added to the subscription. See How to manage Overage for Analyzer Capacity.

How to assign Analyzer Capacity Licenses

Assigning Analyzer Capacity in Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS:

No setup is required. If no Professional or Analyzer License was assigned, Analyzer Capacity is automatically allocated. 

See Enabling dynamic license assignment for details. 

Create an Analyzer Capacity License Rule in Qlik Sense Client-Managed:

1. Open the Qlik Sense Management Console
2. Go to Licenses Management
3. Open Analyzer Capacity Rules in the right-hand menu (See fig 1)
4. Click Create new 
   
   Fig 1
   
   
5. Provide details for your rule. In our example, we are enabling users in the group capacity to receive Analyzer Capacity Licenses. 
   
   Name: Name of your rule
   Description: Description of your rule
   Actions: Allow access 
   
   Populate the conditions accordingly. See Fig 2.

   If you are looking to provide access for anonymous users, see How to allow Anonymous Hub access in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows.
   
   
6. Click Apply
7. All users in the defined group will now receive an Analyzer Capacity License. 
   
   
   

How to monitor Analyzer Capacity usage

The Entitlement Analyzer for Qlik Cloud provides detailed usage data for Analyzer Capacity, but a tenant admin can gain an overview through the Management Console at any time:

1. Open the Qlik Cloud Management Console

Hello, @Sonja_Bauernfeind !

Please consider the following scenario:

I have 20 Analyzer licenses and 01 Capacity license, in a multi-tenant SaaS/cloud environment.

I know that certain users access the Sense cloud only once a month, for a short time, so I would like them to always use the Capacity license. On the other hand, for users who consume a lot, I would like to establish them with the conventional Analyzer

How can I configure rules to meet this scenario?

Regards!

Is an Analyzer Capacity unit (6 minutes) consumed when a user-self-subscribed Sheet Subscription is sent by a schedule?

Is an Analyzer Capacity unit (6 minutes) consumed when a user-self-subscribed Sheet Subscription is sent by a schedule (Qlik SaaS)?

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

Hello @msan 

Can you confirm if this is the feature you mean? Scheduling reports with subscriptions 

If so, receiving the report will not consume capacity. Opening the report and navigating to the app, however, will.

All the best,
Sonja

Hi @Sonja_Bauernfeind,

in https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Introduction/analyzer-ca...

it is said that 6 minutes units in Qlik Sense SaaS Enterprise are assigned per app, so if I open 5 apps on the same browser within 6 minutes, 30 minutes are allocated.

Is that true? If yes, why this policy?

Thank you very much!

Hello @GianlucaFerri 

Please connect with your Partner Manager to discuss your license requirements, as they'll be able to provide you with insight and solutions.

All the best,
Sonja

Hey,

Is it possible to track/monitor who is using Analyzer Capacity in Qlikview (log) ?

We cannot assign this type of license to a specific person so I would like to monitor their use to know if they need to be switched to an "Analyzer" license.
