After applying a valid Signed License Key (SLK), the QlikView Server (QVS) remains Unlicensed in the QlikView Management Console. This occurs while a network proxy is used on the QlikView server host.
This solution requires QlikView May 2024.
QlikView cannot reach the license server when a network proxy is configured on the host machine.

With a Unified license (formerly called Dual Use License) the legacy QlikView license is complemented with a Qlik Sense license that can be applied to the QlikView server as it includes QlikView entitlement license attributes. Such license needs to be activated with the Signed License Key (SLK). When a customer enters an Analytics Modernization Program (AMP, formerly known as Dual Use program), QlikView CALs (e.g. Named User CALs, Document CALS, Session CALs and Usage CALs) are converted into Professional User, Analyzer User, and Analyzer Capacity User allocations based on the Analytics Modernization Program conversion ratios.
I. If a customer transitions to AMP with on-premise (client-managed) Qlik software (e.g. converts to the perpetual estate or convert to subscription Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows), a Unified License containing the converted quantity of Professional Users, Analyzer Users and Analyzer Capacity would be delivered. This license contains a customized Qlik Sense Enterprise Signed License Key (SLK) which can also be deployed on QlikView Server and/or QlikView Publisher. If a user is assigned a Professional or Analyzer user license, this assignment information is synchronized to all Qlik Sense and QlikView deployments activated using this Unified License key. As such one user just needs one license to access the entire Qlik software platform (regardless if it is Qlik Sense or QlikView).
In this scenario, as long as the QlikView Server and Qlik Sense edition use the same Identity Provider (IdP) the user can access apps on both environments consuming only one user license allocation.
If the user license is reallocated in any of the systems to a different user, the same will occur across both QlikView and Qlik Sense environments.
II. If a customer transitions to AMP with Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS add-on, a Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS tenant may use a Unified License for the on-premise deployment. The customer is able to upload QlikView document prepared by the on-premise QlikView software directly into Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS for distribution.
A QlikView Server or a Qlik Publisher software can be activated in two ways:
1) Using a legacy method with 16-digit QlikView license key and the corresponding control number
2) Using a modern Unified License with Signed License Key containing needed QlikView Server and Publisher Service attribute(s). In this latter scenario, user license assignment (Professional/Analyzer) and analyzer capacity would be synchronized with other deployments using the same Signed License Key as it is done in the Unified License model
If the customer opts to remain in Perpetual licensing, the existing QlikView license model can be retained. Otherwise, if the customer opts for conversion into Subscription licensing model, a set of QlikView subscription license attributes mirroring the existing QlikView perpetual license key setup would be delivered such that the customer switch to the subscription QlikView keys without the need for an immediate migration project towards using Unified licensing.
Note: Please note that Qlik is no longer starting clients on the Perpetual license model. See End of Perpetual License Sales
A Professional or Full entitlement was removed without any action from the tenant administrators.
Going to the Administration activity center and reviewing Events by filtering for the Event Type "com.qlik.license.assignment.deleted" or "com.qlik.license.assignment.updated" shows no activity.
Always align entitlements between your environments.
If the same Signed License Key is also used by another tenant or on a version of Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows, any change from those other environments will be synchronized to your tenant.
Because the action was not performed on the tenant itself, the tenant's Events section (or the Audit APIs) won't show them.

Many customers rely on the Capacity Consumption Report in Qlik Cloud to understand usage and billing patterns. Until now, deploying and refreshing this app required repetitive manual steps: downloading from the admin console, publishing it into a managed space, and re-publishing every time a new version was needed.
This approach made monitoring difficult and often left customers with out-of-date insights.
A new Qlik Automate template automates the end-to-end deployment of the consumption app into a managed space of your choice. Once set up, the app is refreshed daily - ready for admins or billing users to work with.
With this in place, you can:
Stay current – The app refreshes once per day (morning CET), so your analytics reflect the latest usage data.
Collaborate easily – Place the app directly into a managed space for shared access.
Enable subscriptions and alerts – Users can subscribe to sheets or KPIs, or create alerts on thresholds that matter to them.
Maintain governance – The template creates/uses the right spaces and applies roles automatically.
Eliminate manual work – No more re-publishing or searching through personal space copies.
The automation checks that you are on a capacity-based subscription (your app size must be 100MB or less; larger data sets still need to be deployed manually or via script).
It ensures you are a TenantAdmin (required for license and app access).
It creates a staging space (for imports) and a managed space (for sharing).
It imports the latest version of the app into staging, then publishes it to the managed space.
You can configure how many historic versions you want to keep in the shared space. By default, no staged apps are kept.
Since the underlying data is refreshed once per day in the morning CET, we recommend scheduling this automation to run around midday CET. This ensures that your managed space always holds the latest daily version of the app.
TenantAdmin role
Capacity-based subscription
Report size ≤100MB (larger reports cannot currently be deployed with Qlik Automate)
Create a new automation, navigate to the App Installer category, and select the Capacity consumption app deployer template.
Update the variables (space names, versions to keep).
Test manually once.
Schedule it to run daily (around midday CET).
Once enabled, you’ll have a single source of truth for consumption reporting - ready to drive alerts, subscriptions, and collaborative analysis across your admins.

Q: When does the Qlik Talend Administration Console license information update?
A: Adding a license to the Qlik Talend Administration Console will update it immediately.
When using a High Availability (HA) setup, the license cache remains for 60 minutes, and it takes 60 minutes for the recheck of the license from the database (licenses table) to take place. In a scenario where the first license was only just applied to the primary Talend Administration Console, the second Talend Administration Console will check the database after 60 minutes.
If a license check should be forced, restart the Talend Administration Console service(s) that need their license updated, or manually add the license in the server, which will write over the license in the database.
After otherwise successfully restoring a Qlik NPrinting backup, the license information remains blank. This information is expected to be restored as well.
This has been addressed as defect QCB-31631.
Activate the Qlik NPrinting license manually.
Qlik NPrinting February 2024 SR5 and later releases. See the Release Notes for details.
Information provided on this defect is given as is at the time of documenting. For up-to-date information, please review the most recent Release Notes or contact support with the ID QCB-31631 for reference.
Beginning on the 30th of January, Qlik introduced the concept of 3rd party runs in Qlik Automate. This is the first step towards a shift in our packaging that will focus on third-party runs only, while standard runs become free of charge.
This shift will happen over the course of a couple of months, giving you sufficient time to analyze your usage and make adjustments if necessary. Please reach out to your account manager if you have any questions.
Contents
The timeline below illustrates how the various stages of this packaging update will happen. In between each stage should be sufficient time to analyze your usage and prepare for the enforcement.
An automation run is considered a standard run if it only executes blocks from the following categories:
Example:
An automation run is considered a third-party run if it executes any blocks that are not in the standard connector categories.
As a rule of thumb, a standard run will execute one or more blocks from third-party connectors. Among others, third-party connectors are connectors like Slack, Amazon S3, Microsoft Excel, Call URL. A full overview of all automation connectors if available here.
Example:
Every run of this automation will execute the Send Message (Slack) block.
This will make every run a third-party run as the Slack connector is a third-party connector.
The “Contains third-party blocks” label indicates that the automation contains an active third-party block.
For a run to be considered a third-party run, we only evaluate executed blocks. If the third-party blocks in the automation were not executed, the run will not count as a third-party run. A block not being executed could be caused by many factors like Condition blocks, Filter List blocks, deactivated third-party blocks, ...
This illustrates that an automation with a “Contains third-party blocks” label will not necessarily generate third-party runs on every run.
Example:
This automation will only execute the Send Message (Slack) block if the reload fails (from the Do Reload block). This means it will only generate third-party runs depending on the state of the Condition block.
The below table provides an overview of the new packaging for automations that will come in effect on April 2, 2025. Please reach out to your account manager for quotes and pricing related questions.
1. Will max concurrency be shared across run types?
Yes, both run types will count towards the same max concurrency.
2. Will usage of Qlik APIs through the Call URL block or other generic connectors count towards third-party runs?
Yes, when these blocks and connectors are used to make API requests to Qlik APIs, they will still count towards third-party runs. If you are missing blocks or functionality in a Qlik connector, please create an improvement request on our Ideation portal or support an existing request.
3. Will the new packaging have an included amount of third-party runs?
Yes, the new packaging will continue to provide some third-party runs for most editions of Qlik Cloud. Details are available in the above section "Packaging details".
4. Why are some automations with third-party blocks missing the label "Contains third-party blocks"?
An automation will only receive the label when someone performs a manual run or saves it in the editor. We are planning a new update that will apply this label to all automations with active third-party blocks regardless of someone saving them or not.
Please note that regardless of this label being on an automation or not, automation runs will still be evaluated and receive a correct billable yes/no label.
The video above demonstrates how to convert Qlik Sense Enterprise servers with Tokens to the Professional and Analyzer capacity licensing model.
The conversion breaks down like this:
The information in this article is provided as-is and to be used at own discretion. Depending on tool(s) used, customization(s), and/or other factors ongoing support on the solution below may not be provided by Qlik Support.

Hello and welcome to this short video guide on upgrading a Qlik Sense token server to a Qlik Sense Professional and Analyzer subscription license.
Our starting point for this upgrade guide is a very simple Qlik Sense Enterprise server, which is using the token style license. That means users gain access using either a User Access or a Login Access pass. Token style Qlik Sense uses the legacy LEF license with a serial and control number activation. This will be replaced in the Professional and Analyzer model license with a Signed License Key (SLK).
Make sure that you copy or save the existing user access rules storing the rules for future reference. We will do the same for the login access rules. Copy and save the rule conditions for future reference.
When you're issued with your new Qlik Sense Enterprise Professional and Analyzer subscription license, you will be issued a new license key or a new tenant. You may continue to use the old Qlik Sense Enterprise token license for up to four months. This will allow you to stand up a new Qlik Sense Enterprise site with Professional Analyzer users in parallel, and transition over time; or do it in one big go.
In this example, we are going to upgrade an existing Qlik Sense token server using the Signed License Key to move it to the Professional and Analyzer user model. Paste the Signed License Key in the signed license box and hit apply. When the license is successfully applied, you will see the license number as well as a license summary on the summary page. In this example, we have 4 Professional Users, as well as 8,000 minutes of Analyzer Capacity per month. There are no user allocations carried over from the old token model.
We need to recreate the Professional access rules. You can create rules from scratch or copy and paste the old token rules to a new Professional allocation rule, like so. Make sure you validate the rule and then hit apply.
We will do the same thing for the Analyze Capacity access rule. Copy the old token access rule for login access and paste it in the analyze capacity access rule. Validate the rule and hit apply. A quick test will validate that the Professional user access rules are functioning correctly. And here we can see that a Professional user was successfully allocated according to the rule we've set up.
Now we will check that the Analyzer capacity allocation rule is also working as expected. Click on the license usage summary tab; and here you can see that 6 minutes of analyzing capacity have been consumed. Everything is working as expected.
Thank you for watching. We hope you found this video useful.

As a benefit of our Analytics Modernisation Program (AMP), a signed license key is issued as a unified license key. This enables the use of one license across Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows and QlikView, granted the license has the required QlikView infrastructure attributes (QV_NODES for QVS, QDS_NODES for Publisher).
This allows for analyzer capacity to be shared across all systems using the same license.
QlikView
Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows
With a Signed License Key (SLK) applied as a unified license across multiple environments
Here is an example:
A QlikView server currently shows 18 minutes of consumption in the QlikView Management Console (Fig 1.)
This can be accessed through: System (A) > Licenses (B) > Choose the License (C) > Professional and Analyzer access (D)
Fig 1
If a user accesses and consumes on a linked Qlik Sense Enterprise Server, the Qlik Sense Enterprise Management Console will show the up-to-date consumption. See Fig 2. Note the 24 minutes, an increase from the 18 we have seen in QlikView.
This can be accessed in the Qlik Sense Management Console > License Management > License usage summary
Fig 2
The usage on the server will be synchronized and shown on the other linked servers within approximately 10 minutes. See Fig 3 and note the 24 minutes, which matches the value in Qlik Sense.
Fig 3
For local consumption data, each server will store its own consumption and user information.
For Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows, the License Monitor app will show capacity consumption.
For the QlikView Server, the capacity consumption is shown and stored in the local session log file, with the CAL consumed being Analyzer Capacity, with a log entry like this:
