Differences beetwen Personal Edition license and Local Client

Hi,

I would like to know the differences beetwen Qlilview Personal Edition (QPE) license and Local Client (QLC)

I know that in QPE you can't share docs with other licenses or users, but ¿is there any other difference?

Thanks

No. Perhaps you should just read the online help page. It answers your question directly.

QlikView Personal Edition is the full QlikView Desktop product and uses the same installation package. The only difference is that QlikView Personal Edition runs without a license key.

There are no limitations in terms of time or functionality in QlikView Personal Edition, however there are a few aspects to observe regarding the handling of QlikView documents. In QlikView Personal Edition, every document is saved with a user key that binds that file to the computer it is created on. This implies:

  • QlikView Personal Edition can only open files created using that particular copy of QlikView. This means, with QlikView Personal Edition you cannot use your QlikView documents on different computers, you cannot share your QlikView documents with another unregistered user, or open a QlikView document from another user (exempted are documents specially prepared for personal use by Qlik). 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.
  • You cannot import an entire document layout (sheets/objects/security settings, etc. in XML format, without the data) into QlikView Personal Edition.

QPE also does not support revision control, i.e. exporting/importing the structure of the document and putting it under source control. That's also mentioned in the online help: QlikView Personal Edition ‒ QlikView

AFAIK it's the only difference unless you consider features like the import/export of the document layout not to them (although it's of course related).
