Internet Explorer (IE) was retired by Microsoft in 2022 and no longer receives security updates. In line with this, Qlik will stop shipping the QlikView IE plugin starting with the QlikView September 2027 release.
What this means for you:
This announcement only impacts QlikView. No other Qlik products are affected
If you remain on your current QlikView installation (such as the QlikView September 2026 release or earlier) and do not upgrade, nothing changes for you; the plugin remains operational
Once you upgrade to the QlikView September 2027 release or any later releases, the QlikView IE plugin will no longer be included in your installation package, nor will any support be provided to enable older versions of the plugin
While you may choose not to move to the QlikView September 2027 upgrade and remain on an older version, your eligibility for maintenance and support may be impacted. Qlik supports versions for 24 months from the initial release date in accordance with its release management policy.
How can you access QlikView without the IE Plugin:
The standard QlikView Web Client works in any modern web browser and requires no plugin. If you're already using the Web Client, which most customers are, this change has no impact on you.
QlikView Desktop provides a direct connection to QlikView Server and will continue to work as normal.
What you need to do:
You are encouraged to stay on a supported version and explore one of the options below, if you are impacted:
Check whether any of your users still rely on the IE plugin, rather than the Web Client or Desktop options.
If so, move them to the Web Client (recommended for most cases) or set up a direct QlikView Desktop-to-Server connection before upgrading to the QlikView September 2027 release or later.
Contact your account team or Qlik Support if you need help identifying affected usage or planning the move.
