Hello, I just bought a Qlik enterprise licence.

 I use an oracle database (with qlik desktop on a private network), i can't create a connector on the cloud link (cause i guess he can't connect on the database )

Do you  have a solution ?

Maybe Something checking my account having a licence, then using my private network ?.

Thanks for Help.

@Thomas57 There are a few prerequisites for connecting to local databases on the Cloud. Please check out this video and take a look at either the playlist it's in for more content on getting started in Qlik Sense Business or this Techspurt Thursday. If you have any additional questions, please try posting in the Qlik Sense forum to get more insight from other users and internals.

Hi everyone,

I started a new Intro Series in Qlik Cloud that shows how to create a 30 days free Qlik Cloud Account and how to install and authenticate Qlik Sense Desktop:

Hi @Jamie_Gregory,

The Qlik_Sense_Desktop.unlock for the Qlik Sense Desktop already expired.

The Qlik_Sense_Desktop_Unlock_Instructions.txt file says:

"The unlock file you are about to download expires on August 5, 2024."

Could you kindly update the unlock file?

Thank you for your attention.

Best regards,

Huberto Pereira Haidemann

Hi @Sonja_Bauernfeind,

What I can say is that I wanted to update the Qlik Sense Desktop (free access) and the file that I downloaded from the Support -> Products Download -> Download Qlik Products had a message about the expiry date.

Was I somehow able to answer your question?

Thank you.

Regards,

Huberto

Yes, I noticed the Qlik Sense Desktop unlock expired 2 days ago as well.

Usually it gets updated with each major release or in-between before it expires, but this time it's just expired... who can update it?
