I work as Qlikview consultant and one of our clients bought a stand alone license for his own laptop
Now this client bought a new laptop and he applied the same license key and control number on the new laptop which is now applied on the new and old laptop
Is this legal? will QlikView client work normally on the two laptops?
It will work. But I don't think this is legal if both laptops are used simultaneously. Perhaps it's not legal anyway even if only one laptop is used at a time.
I don't think Qlik will know unless somebody tells them. I don't know (I'm not a partner), but I can image that partners are obliged to notify Qlik if they are aware of license infringement happening. If that's correct you could inform your client of this fact and recommend he makes sure that he complies with the licensing terms in short order.
I agree with Gysbert. License is valid for one system and will suggest you to uninstall QV in the other system and do fresh installation so that I hope the key will not be there in the second system.(provided the keys information has deleted in windows registry)
