Do you have a valid QV license? Personal addition has limitation to open only max 3-4 documents created by other if it exceeds then you won't be able to develop the apps developed from your personal addition also

You need to lease a licence from your server - see for it:

Like above mentioned you need to lease a licence from the server because you couldn't apply the server licence on your desktop client. Depending on your environment and the used settings it could become difficult - means if the simple open of any available document on the server don't work - because licence lease must be enabled within the qmc, you will probably need to have a VPN to get into the network, the firewalls must allow the connection and various things more ... In the end it means you need to go carefully through the links provided above.

More easier may be you copy the app on the server respectively in any mounted folder and access it then per access point.

As suggested by you ,

"More easier may be you copy the app on the server respectively in any mounted folder and access it then per access point".

I don't have server installed in my system hence how can I implement this ?

How could you have a server licence if you don't have an (available) server?
