I changed my Computer Name and now can't open Personal edition QV files.

Without thinking of the consequences, I changed my computer name.  Now I can't open any of the QV files I've created with the free, Personal edition of QlikVIew.

I tried reverting the machine name, but no joy.

Is there any way to fix this?  Some of my files are important to me.

Thanks......

Hi Steven,

Please do following highlighted

  • "With QV personal edition you cannot use your QlikView documents on different computers,

you cannot share your QlikView documents with another unregistered user, or open a Qlik-

View document from another user (exempted are documents specially prepared for personal use by

QlikTech). However, documents created in QlikView Personal Edition can be used with a licensed

copy of QlikView desktop and they can also be published on a QlikView Server."

Thanks,

Arvind Patil

Many thanks, but I am not trying to use my documents on more than one machine or by any other user. All I did was to change my computer’s name – but it’s the same computer that the files were created on.

Thanks,

Steven
