Hi there,

If anyone is looking at this post using QlikView server version 11.

I had this problem and the only solution I found was to restore a backup of the QVPR folder.

Not a great solution but it seems to work.  I did not realise how apply the Publisher license would change the QMC but I guess something you learn the hard way.

Just removing the license files did not work for me to get the reload tab back.

Thanks

Hi,

For QlikView 11 on Windows 2008 to restaure the Reload Tab after removing the publisher licence

you must change the IsPublisher="true" to IsPublisher="false"in the following file:

C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\ManagementService\QVPR\DistributionService.xml

Ex.:

    . . .

  </xs:schema>

  <DistributionService . . . IsPublisher="false"  . . . />

</NewDataSet>

1. Stop QlikView Services

2. Backup the file DistributionService.xml

3. Change IsPublisher="true" to IsPublisher="false" on the line <DistributionService

4. Start Services.

Luc
