Hello Qlik Cloud Admins!
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide the best possible experience for Qlik Cloud users, we are removing the Basic and Full User construct from tenants on capacity-based subscriptions, simplifying to just User.
Why are we doing this?
User capabilities on capacity-based tenants are governed by access control. Thus, a difference in user type designation is no longer required to determine what a user can do in the tenant.
What changes are being made?
Any user authenticating to a capacity-based tenant will be considered a Full User. The concept of a Basic User is removed from the product. Any users purchased under capacity entitlement will be available as Full Users. Full User consumption is deducted from the total number of user capacity purchased.
The auto-assignment toggles in the Qlik Cloud Administration Center >Settings > Entitlements will be removed from the product. To grant these roles to everyone in the tenant, use the Auto assign option in Manage users > Permissions.
How does this impact you?
Current access control configuration for existing users remains unchanged. You may have to modify the User Default role, assign users to built-in roles, or create new custom roles to support access to tenant features and capabilities. See Roles and permissions for users and administrators for information on your tenant’s access control system.
When will this change take effect?
This is targeted for February 2nd, 2026.

During recent testing, Qlik has identified an issue that can occur after upgradingQlik Sense on-premiseto specific releases. While the upgrade completes successfully, some environments may experience problems with ODBC-based connectors after the upgrade.
The issue is upgrade path dependent and relates to connector components that are included as part of the Qlik Sense client-managed installation.
Recommendation: After upgrading Qlik Sense on-premise, verify your connector functionality as part of your post-upgrade checks, especially when upgrading from earlier Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows May 2025 releases.
How can I identify if I am affected?
The issue can typically be identified by files being missing after the upgrade. In this example, theAthenaconnector is not working, and the following file is missing:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Qlik\Custom Data\QvOdbcConnectorPackage\athena\lib\AthenaODBC_sb64.dll
In this example, all ODBC connectorsstopped working:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Qlik\Custom Data\QvOdbcConnectorPackage\QvxLibrary.dll
With theQvxLibrary.dllmissing, both existing and newly created ODBC connections will fail.
How do I resolve the issue?
A fixwill be delivered in upcoming patches. Stay up to date with the most recent version by reviewing our Release Notes.
Workaround
If your connectors have been impacted by this upgrade, rollback your ODBC connector package to the previously working version based on a pre-update backup. SeeHow to manually upgrade or downgrade the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows ODBC Connector Packagesfor details.
The workaround is intended to be temporary. Apply the fixed Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows patch for your respective version as soon as it becomes available.

Qlik's O365 Add-in offering for report developers has expanded with two new add-ins to enable Word document and PowerPoint presentation analytic reports.
Report developers can now:
Compose document or portrait style reports with data from a Qlik Sense app with an output format of .docx or .PDF(using thenew Microsoft O365 Add-in for Word).
Create PowerPoint presentation analytic reports from a Qlik Sense app with an output of .pptx or .PDF(using the new Microsoft O365 Add-in for PowerPoint).
How do I get started?
Qlik add-ins for Microsoft Office are installed using a manifest file. If you are using an existing manifest, you will need to download and deploy an updated file to access the new add-ins. See the deployment guide Deploying and installing Qlik add-ins for Microsoft Office.
The manifest covers all three productivity tool Add-ins. They cannot be deployed individually.
Notes on thePowerPoint add-in use
Qlik’s integration testing of Microsoft PowerPoint APIs shows that the O365 Add-in for PowerPoint can be unstable or slow at times. Our investigation with Microsoft reveals this to be a known challenge; some APIs on web vs desktop can result in different behaviors.
If your report developers have difficulty with the online PowerPoint Add-in, contact Qlik Support to open a case with us.
While we investigate the integration with Microsoft to determine if a solution is possible, consider developing your reports with the desktopversion of PowerPoint.
For Qlik NPrinting Customers
Watch for an upcoming Qlik NPrinting release in 2026 that will support Word and PowerPoint template export of compatible templates to Qlik Cloud Analytics.
Please note that due to Microsoft API limitations, it is not possible to embed data into an Excel table within the PowerPoint template to then produce native PowerPoint visualizations in the report. Refer to the help documentation for any other Word and PowerPoint report authoring limitations.See Qlik Reporting Service specifications and limitations for details.

Starting January 12, 2026, the 30-second interval option will no longer be available in the Qlik Automate scheduler.
This update prepares Qlik Automate for a future upgrade that will bring enhanced scheduling capabilities that are consistent with other Qlik products, including:
Support for specific days and dates
Configurable time windows
How will this affect me?
All automations using the 30-second interval will continue to work and run on the 30-second interval for now.
At a yet to be decided date, automations that still use a 30-second interval will be migrated to a 1-minute interval. Subscribe to this blog post to stay informed.
What actions do I need to take?
Please review your automations that use 30-second intervals to ensure they will function properly with a 1-minute interval.
Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or address our experts directly in theQlik Automateforum.
