HI,
I've just posted here http://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-5281 a set of tools/QVW which will allow you to analyse CAL / doc / authorisation. Some basic info are of course available ("who has not used his CAL for 1 month ?", "How many Doc CAL does user XXX has ?", ...) but it will also be possible to find out if you have "lost" CALs (CAL allocated to deleted documents) and even to automatically delete Document CAL based on their last usage time.
I've tested CAL deletion on my side without any issue but it's still a sensitive operation so, please, test it on your dev environment before doing it on production 😉 Other operations only read data so there is no risk to break things !
Feel free to make suggestions / comments of course.
Hope you will like it!

Yes, the tool is using only documented API. I won't argue here about Qlik's decision, but most probably related to "potential money loss"...
Hi David,
a question on another but not-so-different-topic: any idea what happened to the QMSEDX Enhanced document page?
I've deleted it. I do not want to "break the law" again... My tools won't be published on Qlik's website anymore but if you're interested/have any ideas, just send me an email !
Ok, I respect your decision. Although I'm not sure I understand how you can "break the law" with a tool for which Qlik itself posted the source code in the Community (and which is still available although in its earliest incarnation it may not work anymore).
Do you plan to stop your excellent support of QMSEX Enhanced as well? Or do you prefer we simply post questions in the forums instead of in the comments section of the original document?
"Breaking the law" was indeed a bit ironic
If you're facing bugs / have ideas, just send me an email, I don't read the forums that much. QMSEDX is quite stable now and I don't think it will require a lot of support anyway.
The biggest part would be to port it to Qlik Sense. I've already worked on it but there is still a lot of work to be done. Moreover, I'm not sure I will make it publicly available, if Qlik wants a public and supported tool for this, they just have to code/maintain it.
Hi David, anyone,
Is the tool posted anywhere else? No one can access https://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-5281
Everyone get the error:
It could be nice to take a look to the Qlikview Server CAL Manager tool.
Many people may be interested in it.
Thank you
Enrique
As David mentioned in his forthcoming post, you can send him a PM if you're interested in the Server CAL Manager.
I don't think the tool is available for immediate download anywhere else, as that may draw the ire of Qlik all over again.
Hi!
Not quite sure if Qlik has changed their opinion:
We were allowed to put "Heldendaten CAL Manager" on Qlik Market, which allows you to manage Document CALs with the official QMS APIs. I have written a Blog Post about it on blog.heldendaten.net, including the Downloadlink to a demo version.
Feel free to contact me, if you have any question.
