Renewing license lease when using the COM api

Hi

I'm using the COM api in C# to automate some operations using QlikView Desktop.

The problem is that the QlikView client is using a license lease from a QlikView server to operate, which means that every few days the user has to manually launch the QLikView client and open a document in the server in order to renew the license.

This is annoying because I'd like everything to be fully automated. Is there any way to use the COM api to renew the lease of a license? I tried using the OpenDocument api method to open a document on the server, but the problem is that QlikView will ask for the server password (using a popup with a textbox), I've found no way to pass in the password automatically. Is there any solution?

I don't think so.

AFAIK, the only way you can use Qlik Technology without starting QlikView desktop to do the "licensing paperwork" is with an OEM license and by integrating the OCX in your application.
