A single server-licence could be only active on one system at the same time. This meant you would need to switch off one system before you could start the other and it won't be very practically to build an useful workflow from dev (to test) to prod. For this you will need to purchase a test-server licence or a second server licence.

Hi Marcus,

Thanks for the input. Does test server license is free of cost if we have Qlikview server license? If not, any idea what would be the cost of test server license.

A test server license is not free. It costs half as much as the corresponding server license. And you won't need any CALs as the number and type of CALs of the production server license is automatically included.

Hi Peter, Thanks for the information. We don't have any other way to accomplish this apart from buying test server license? May be installing the QV server on Virtual Machine. Is that possible?

A VM won't be useful to bypass the licence-conditions neither technically nor from a legal point of view. The only way is purchasing further licences whereby it mustn't be mandatory a test-licence. A second server licence could be through further CAL's, the possibility a licence lease and in certain fallback-scenarios a useful consideration.
