Client Access License assignment on a QlikView Small Business

Edition Server
On the same QlikView SBE Server one can use a mix of different CALs (Named and Document).
Optionally,the QlikView Server can be set to automatically assign licenses when users access the server.
This capabilitycan be turned off, if desired. When a user accesses a QlikView SBE Server, the user will
be evaluated in this order:
If already a Named user, use this license
If already a Document CAL user, use this license, if not
Are there any Named User CALs available, allocate a license, if not
Are there any Document CALs available, allocate a license
If there are no CALs available, the user will be prompted to contact the system manager to request a
license.
End Users can add more users by purchasing additional Named User or Document CALs. QlikView Small
Business Edition Servers are limited to 25 Named CALs and 100 Document CALs.

QlikView Analyzer AJAX client
Support for the following Mobile clients

Via APIs through COM or Web Services

Named User CAL

A Named User CAL is mandatory when deploying a QlikView Server solution. A Named User
CAL (an identified user on a server) has access based on user identity and is valid for all documents on
the server, therefore any number of concurrent sessions from one user on one machine at any time is
allowed.

Offline use (Borrow CAL from Server)

Named User CALs also allow users to open documents locally after the user has been assigned a Named
User CAL on the server. Named User CALs are assigned on the server when the user accesses the
server for the first time. QlikView Server will provide a license key automatically to the Named Users
workstation that is valid for 30 days. Every time the Named User logs on to the QlikView Server the
license key will be renewed. The QlikView client must then make an authenticated log on (not
anonymous) and obtain a Named CAL.

Each time QlikView is started, QlikView tries to contact the QlikView Server and renew the license lease.
If the client cannot reach the Server after 30 days, the license lease expires. A license lease is only
activated and checked using the QlikView Desktop or the QlikView Plug-In for Internet Explorer.
It is not possible to obtain a license lease using the Ajax clients.

Document CAL
A Document CAL allows one user to open one QlikView document. The license is perpetual and will allow
the user to open a (but not the) single document. When a user opens a QlikView Document and
consumes a Document CAL the user will be stored against the QlikView Document. The combination of a
user would be stored in QlikView Server like Named users (server PGO files) but associated with a
Document name instead of the full server.
The Document CAL is very flexible. If an end user installs 100 Document CALs on a QlikView Server this
will allow for a lot of combinations:
1 user can open 100 different documents
-- or -100 different users can open the same document
-- or -33 different users can use a Sales app
33 other users can use a Finance app
34 other users can use an Accounts Payable app
-- or -50 different users can use a Sales app
10 other users can use a Finance app
40 other users can use an Accounts Payable app
And so on.
