From the reference manual:

• Named CAL (an identified user on a server) – Access is based on user identity and valid for all

documents on the server, that is any number of concurrent sessions from one user on one machine at

a time is allowed.

• Document CAL (an identified user within a given document) – Just as above, the access is based on

user identity, but the CAL is valid only for one document. If the same user connects to two

documents using this licensing method, he will hence consume two Document CALs.

• Session CAL – Each Session CAL allows one user on one computer to access QlikView documents,

that is any number of concurrent sessions from one user on one machine at a time is allowed.

Anonymous users are allowed, no identification of the client user is necessary.

• Usage CAL – Each Usage CAL gives the right to initiate one session (single document) per running

28-day period. The session may last a maximum of one hour. Any activity after the first hour has

expired will count as a new session (albeit without visible interruption). No identification of the

client user is necessary.

Hi Johannes,

Your answer is help me so much on definition of each CALs. I know that some of license CALs need server and the other just install one client machine.

So that what kind of license CALs need server? And what kind of license CALs no need server?

What advantages and disadvantages of using licenss CALs on Server and on client?

Thanks in advanced!

Hi,

The CALs are all for the server and depending on the customer needs, the server license will contain different (or a mix of) CALs.

When you talk about CALs for the QlikView standalone (dekstop install), you can Lease a license from a QlikView Server if using Named User CALs. This means that the person leasing the license from the QVS gets full developer capabilities for 30 days. As long as the client is able to touch the server during this period, the license lease will be renewed so that the user can continue to use standalone QV with full capabilities.

Hope this makes sense
