Where do all the QlikView LEF files go?

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

When a QlikView product is licensed and verified against the License Enable servers, a LEF file is created on the client/server. This article is to describe where the different LEF files are located. 

Different locations of Lef.txt:

QlikView Server: C:\ProgramData\QlikTech
QlikView Publisher: C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\ManagementService\Publisher LEF
QlikView Desktop (manually entered license):   C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\QlikView
QlikView Desktop (leased license): No LEF created. 

Environment:

QlikView

This article save my day!!

Take into account that if the content of the LEF file is wrong or has a expired date, QlikView QMC at System > Services Publisher/Server > License does not finally load and it locks your entire system. Modifying manually that file located at those paths

QlikView Server: C:\ProgramData\QlikTech
QlikView Publisher: C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\ManagementService\Publisher LEF

Solves the problem!
Thank you so much
