If u reinstall qv u will be given a new key for ur new os. So U can ope any document that u create from now on.. but not the documents that was created in the prior os(i mean machine key).

u should have licensed edition to open the old docs.

If you reset this and it generates a new key for you the next time you open one of your old documents it will ask if you want to use one of your 'Recovery Attempts'.  This will mean that you can then open that document into the new QlikView with the new PE key.  Any other documents created with the old PE key will also be able to be opened with the new PE key.

This will use your one remaining recovery attempt, so be careful if changing your OS again.

Something QlikView does when you do this though is remove the data from each QVW you load for the first time.  All you have to do to recover this is a reload and you should be back where you started.  The only thing to watch is if you have any 'only one selected' fields that tick box will need to be re-checked after the reload.

If you attempt this and is fouls up then contact support@qlik.com, I presume they have some way of resetting the number of recovery attempts you have (though I have no evidence of this).

Sundar is correct about the OS re-install causing QlikView to believe you are trying to open these files on another machine.

Was the Google Maps example created by someone else?  That could have used one of your recovery attempts.

I hope that they reset the recovery attempt counter for you.

Dear Mr.Steve,

Yes , Google Maps example created by someone else. There is 5 possibility to open Qlikview other document in personal edition.

And the document which i have created before in personal edition that i unable to open.

i don't know how "personal edition key file is missing or corrupt" its a Application error or OS error.
