We have the following problem in our environment. We need to provide our users with 2 shortcuts to open a workbook on the qlikview server. One is for offline users and one for online users. The online shortcut should open the document from the server. However, if the online shortcut is opened, the borrowed license is not deplyed/renewed. Thus, the offline shortcut will not not. I scanned the registry and found 2 values in the qlikview key: BorrowedCalExpiry and BorrowedCalCheck. They must be set, before you can open any QV document locally. If opened over the online shortcut, the registry keys do not update. They are only updated, when you go over "Open in Server..." and choose the server in the dropdown box (opening a document on the server is not even necessary)
Layout of the shortcuts:
1st Shortcut - online: Opens a text file (C:\qv_apps\app_online.qvw)with the following text: qvp://servername/QV APPS/app.qvw
2nd Shortcut - offline: opens the qvw file locally which is copied from the servershare. C:\qv_apps\app.qvw
My question is now, if and how other users are using shortcuts to open qlikview documents and how they are handling the borrowedCal expiration after 2 weeks. Even though it seems like a trivial problem, this is absolutely critical to us.
