That is the limitation of qlikview personal edition

What are the limitations of Personal Edition?

There are only two limitations while using QlikView with the Personal Edition license:

• QlikView Personal Edition works with local files only; you cannot share your QlikView file with another unregistered user, or load a QlikView file from another user.
• You cannot import an entire document layout (sheets/objects/security settings, etc. without the data) into QlikView Personal Edition.

for this you need licence

Hi Bharat,

Personal edition cannot open a document saved by a licensed QlikView client,

If you have Qlikview Server you can lease license from that.  This is the limitation of personal edition Qlikview Desktop.

They can open upto 4 times. or check weather they have licence

[avinashelite · Accepted solution]

Every user will have 4 chance to open the files developed by other users and if they exceed the count and then they will not be allowed to open the app developed on their own machine

qlikview desktop and personal edition?

Hi bharat,
