Hi @Sonja_Bauernfeind May i ask i have upgraded to Qlik Sense May 2023 Patch 19 and NPrinting May 2023 Service Release 6, when i run the NPrinting task with QlikEntity type, there is error - ERROR: CEF rendering exception. Error during GRPC request. When I check the nprinting_engine_cef.log it says:

Hi @Sonja_Bauernfeind , we currently have Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows for the November 2022 release, do we have a security patch for that release?

BR,

Eric

November 2022 is outside of the 2 year support window.

You solution is going to be to upgrade to a version inside that 2 year window and patch that. Slightly more work but you get the bonus of new features.

Hello @EQ23 

@oknotsen is correct. 

No patches are available for Qlik Sense versions that fall outside of support. Please upgrade to a supported version to make use of continued patches and security fixes.

All the best,
Sonja

Thanks @Sonja_Bauernfeind @oknotsen ,  then we have to make a plan to upgrade.
