Migration questions : Qlikview 11.0 SR2 to 12.1 SR3

[apierensv]

Hello,

I have some questions before upgrading - in fact setup new machines and killing the old ones - from Qlikview server & publisher 11.0 SR2 to the last release of Qlikview v12.1 (SR3).

1) Can we have temporary licences for the setup period, in order to prevent impact on the current environments (as 2 Qlikview servers can't be up with the same license) ?

2) We use a Salesforce authentication for one application, and on the current IIS server a Qlik consultant gave us a specific Authenticate.aspx and sso.dll four years ago, I assume we need these files again ? Is the Qlik support able to give us these 2 files ?

3) Under the link https://help.qlik.com/en-US/qlikview/12.1/Subsystems/Server/Content/QlikView%20Server/QVSRM_Upgrade...., I see we can "Copy the QVPR folder and the .ini file" from the old to the new server, is it possible from our quite old 11.0 Qlikview version ?

4) Is there any other trap regarding a migration from 11.0 SR2 to v12.1 (SR3) ?

Thanks for your help !

It is possible to maintain multiple versions of desktop on a single machine. I retain many different version to test out customer problems. Here's how you do it.

1. Install some version, perhaps 11.20 SR15.

2. Copy the contents of C:\Program Files\QlikView to a new folder C:\QlikView11SR15.

3. Install another version, perhaps QV12 SR6. This becomes the default version.

When you want to run the QV11.20 SR15 version go to the C:\QlikView11SR15 folder and double click  qv.exe.

You can do this as may times as you want. I usually save off my current version every time before doing an upgrade.
