I am in the middle of testing the move from nPrinting 16 to the latest version.
So on to the question, I realise there is a 250 user limit in this new version for SMB. Does that mean you can only have a maximum of 250 recipients? (recipients of an excel report, no role assigned)
We send out regular emails to customers and suppliers. The amount of recipients is above the 250 limit but only by a little. This was never a problem in NP16. We could even enter multiple email addresses in the To field (e.g. email1; email2) which doesn't exist now.
I'd also like to know what are people doing in this scenario? I'd love to stick with NP16 but we are starting to get a few bugs so that is not really feasible. We are still an SMB though..we just have a lot of suppliers and customers that we like to send a couple of emails each week. If we were talking pure internal users it would be much less than 250
Hi,
Hi,
Yes Qlik NPrinting SMB is limited to 250 users and 2 developers.
Qlik NPrinting 17+ is a different product compared with QlikView NPrinting 16. For example the 17+ is multi-engines and multi-thread, where QlikView NPrinting 16 isn't, so it can scale up easier. Qlik NPrinting 17+ stores internal data on a Repository, that is a database server, instead of using .nsq files. So you can create more complex reporting systems without the limitation of reading huge files on opening.
The migration is documented in details at https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/May2021/Content/NPrinting/Migrate/Migrating.htm included the unsupported features. The Migration Tool has also many detailed error messages so we suggest to test the process and solve them before proceeding with the final migration. Where available, the help site documents how to replace some unsupported features.
QlikView NPrinting 16 is no more supported.
Best Regards,
Ruggero

@Ruggero_Piccoli - link you have provided does not work
@Lech_Miszkiewicz thanks, removed.
Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to respond. I had a look at your subroutines, very handy. I think workaround 1 may be worth exploring.
In answer to your question about why we have this version on NP rather than enterprise version - I think it's because we got the QlikView Small Business Edition server.
Hi @QlikMo
QlikView version (small business) should not be related to version of NPrinting. In this case I encourage you to double check with Qlik what are the options for migrations as I think you may be eligible to get enterprise edition when migrating from existing NPrinting 16 solution.
thanks

I just had a look at an old Qlik email and the product is written as 'Qlikview NPrinting SBE Server' on the licence section. I think the main (and maybe only) difference at that time was the on-demand printing feature not available for SBE/SMB.
I will still contact them to see what options are available.
Thank you
Just to follow up, you were right! I don't know how on earth you knew this but you did. We were wrongly given the SMB trial licence. Again thanks for the advice and also your brilliant library, after tweaking it a bit for Qlikview it's working really well and saved me a lot of time. I was even part way through creating the batch user creation and deletion.
Excellent!
How did I know? As Qlik partner we as a company transitioned a lot of clients from version 16 to new NPrinting and all of those clients were given enterprise license. So I didn't know - I just assumed that you would get the same.
I am assuming this will now change a lot of things you previously had issues with. I know it may be hard to migrate, but once you do it, it should be ok.
Lastly - please spend time going through https://help.qlik.com "planning deployment" and "creating connections to..." sections to ensure your environmnet meets all requirements. There is nothing worse than gremlins sitting in your software waiting for you to trip over a requirement you havent met 🙂 haha
good luck
cheers
