Difference between Named and Document CAL

Hi, I am New to QlikView,

If we assigned a Named CAL License to the User,

1)User is able to view all Applications through Access Point and QlikView Desktop .


If we assigned a Doc CAL License to the User,

1)User is able to view particular applications through Access Point Only,User Can't view that application through QlikView Desktop.

Please correct me if i am wrong?

The Named CAL is the only one that can be used for License Lease so it is the only license that can be used in combination with a Desktop client.

So indeed, a Doc CAL (and a Session and Usage CAL) will not work on a local client.

In general, the only people that use the local client are developers and a hand full of business people who are rarely connected to the server. If you have server access and are not a developer, don't use the desktop.

May you live in interesting times!
