How to get LEF.txt file from Vendor if Internet is not accessible

Hi,

We are trying to setup Qlikview for customer, but their Qlikview server is not allowed access to the internet.  Therefore, we need to get the LEF.txt file from Qlikview. I would like to know how to get LEF information from Vendors?

Any suggestions. Thanks,

Vijaya

Chooco,

Please get in touch with your account manager or support so that they can verify your license ownership and issue you the control number.

Can you please elaborate little more in detail? I couldn't understand you...

I just wanted to know is it possible to update the license without control number? I have license key but lost the control number

Thanks,

The simpliest answer is you can't.  As stated by Johannes you will have to talk to your Partner or QlikTech to obtain your Control Number.

No, you will have to have both.

Thanks Dave and Bill

Just wanted to know whether the license will be enabled if we manually generate the LEF using http://lef1.qliktech.com/manuallef/ only with the seriel key and then create a text file with Lef.txt by copying the LEF details in that and then copying the Lef.txt into the below location.

Windows Vista/7 - C:\Program Data\QlikTech\QlikView

     Windows XP       -  C:\Documents and Settings\ username \ Application Data\ QlikTech \ QlikView

Please answer!

I don't know because I would never support such an approach.

If you legally own the licence key serial number it would only be a quick phone call to your Partner (or QlikTech if you purchased direct) to get hold of your control number.

Yes you are correct! Even I don't support such approach.

But as I read somewhere that with the use of LEF which is manually generated we can enable the license. So I was little surprised about the about the security. Now as it does need the control number I am totally satisfied with the security.

As recommended I will surely get in touch with the QlikTech to get the control number.

Thanks for your response!
