I have several Enterprise Server Licenses, but I would like to reorganize to a clustered architecture.
Is it possible to convert existing server license to clustered server licenses? Is there additional cost to do this.
Any information would be appreciated,
B
Hi,
As far as I am aware (and from past experience), this should be simply a matter of asking your designated Qliktech (or partner) account manager.
Enterprise licences can be clustered - but instead of several you have now, you will end up with one licence with a line entry in your LEF for 'number of cluster nodes = n'
Standard practice is to set up (add) and configure all of your cluster nodes from one of the servers (on which you deploy the QMS.
Note: Publisher licences can also be clustered in a similar manner.
It is a matter of contacting Qliktech and putting in place the needful processes to migrate all of your enterprise servers to the proposed clustered set-up - there has been no additional cost (at least for any of the migrations I have been involved in so far).
Hope this answers your question.

You should contact your Qliktech Sales representative or Qlikview Partner to discuss the optimal license plan for your site.
Or contact Contact Qoncierge Service | QlikView
I'm really just trying to understand if it is possible. Has anyone else done this?
What do you mean with possible? Technically, you will get a different license / LEF.
All the rest is commercial negotiation.
Check with your sales team. I believe there is a license you need to purchase to enable a cluster of multiple server licenses.

I was successfully able to collapse 2 existing enterprise licenses into a single clustered license.

Hi,
When you converted your QV enterprise server into clustering, did you have to apply for a new set CAL for all your users?
Thanks
Hi @loocm,
If the only thing that changes in the LEF is that QVS clustering is enabled and the number of CALs doesn't change, then you shouldn't have to make any changes to Named or Document CAL assignments.
