Leasing licenses in Qlikview 12

[DaanDaanDaan]

Hi,

I’ve a questions about leasing licenses in Qlikview 12 (November 2018).

Is there a technical brief for leasing licenses for this version of Qlikview?

I’ve found a technical brief where it explains it is possible to lease three licenses max. But we’re able to get four licenses with Enterprise license and five licenses with the Small Business Server license.

So I’m confused about this.

Can anyone tell me what’s the real story about leasing licenses?

Regards,

Daniël

I am not sure about 3 licenses leasing for a single user (Named CAL). I knew it was 2. 

A single user can lease up to two licenses to two separate workstations within 
a 24 hour / 7 day period

 Could you refer to the document or share here you are talking about? You may refer: Qlik Lease License

Alright. If it is two, how is it possible that i'm able to lease four licenses?

Every lease is from another workstation but same user ID.

4 licenses leased, unique hostname same UserID

Interesting. Do you see any errors in the settings.ini for the Desktop client?

Hi Chris_Rice,

The settings.ini shows no errors. There's a timestamp on which moment the license is leased.

The value did change just FYI, and I cannot say if it will remain at that number or potentially be adjusted again, so do not be surprised if it changes in the future, but I do know it did increase to 4 for the moment.  Primarily this was due to a number of customers running Citrix setups where they had a farm of servers and the need to have leases on all servers in the farm etc.  Hopefully this is the explanation for which you were looking, but again, things are subject to change in future releases.
