System requirements for Qlik Sense Enterprise

This section lists the requirements that must be fulfilled by the target system in order to successfully install and run Qlik Sense.

Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows

Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows requirements
Item	Requirements
Platforms	Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Microsoft Windows Server 2022 For development and testing purposes only: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit version only) Microsoft Windows 11 Information noteThese operating systems are supported by Qlik Sense. Third-party software may require service packs to be installed.
Processors (CPUs)	Multi-core x64 compatible processors Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) support We recommend that you use at least 4 cores per node in a Qlik Analytics Platform deployment.
Memory	8 GB minimum (depending on data volumes, more may be required) Qlik Sense is an in-memory analysis technology. The memory requirements for the Qlik Sense products are directly related to the amount of data being analyzed.
Disk space	5.0 GB total required to install
Disk share	SMB or NFS
Storage	A network file share is required for the storage to be accessible by all servers in the site. In case of a single-server deployment, local disk storage may be sufficient. Sufficient storage is required for the volume of apps and content used in the deployment. Information noteConsider periodically running network file share performance tests on Qlik Sense using WinShare and FreeNAS with SMB 3.0. For more information about network file share solutions, contact your IT team for support.
Security	Microsoft Active Directory Microsoft Windows Integrated Authentication Third-party security
WebSockets	Web browsers and infrastructure components (such as proxies and routers) must support WebSockets.
.NET framework	4.8
PowerShell	4.0 or higher Information noteWhen installing or upgrading Qlik Sense Enterprise Client-Managed, several unsigned PowerShell scripts are executed. If your company has a policy only allowing the execution of signed scripts, you will have to bypass this policy during installation or upgrade. See Set-ExecutionPolicy for more information on the PowerShell execution policy.
Repository database	PostgreSQL: 16.x (not included in the installer) 15.x (not included in the installer) Information noteTo use PostgreSQL versions 15 and 16, you must grant all permissions on the public schema to the qliksenserepository user for proper functionality in Qlik Sense databases. For more information, see Granting permissions for PostgreSQL versions 15 and 16. 14.x (14.8 included in the installer) 13.x (not included in the installer) 12.x (not included in the installer) Note that bundled PostgreSQL 12.5 is not recommended. If you have version 12.5 installed locally when you upgrade Qlik Sense, a warning will be displayed but you can still upgrade. For more information, see Considerations about your Qlik Sense Repository Database. 11.x (not included in the installer) Information noteIf you originally installed Qlik Sense before May 2021, upgrading Qlik Sense from such a version will not upgrade the bundled PostgreSQL database. You must manually upgrade the bundled PostgreSQL database running on the 9.6 version to a newer version. You can use the Qlik PostgreSQL Installer to upgrade your bundled PostgreSQL database from 9.6 or 12.5 to the 14.8 version. For more information, see: Installing or upgrading PostgreSQL using the Qlik PostgreSQL Installer. PostgreSQL is included in the Qlik Sense setup by default. However, you can also download and install it manually. The PostgreSQL installer will automatically install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64), which is required with PostgreSQL 14.x. Information noteThe version of PostgreSQL 14.x installed with Qlik Sense does not include pgAdmin tools. You can download and install them manually if required. PostgreSQL is an open source object-relational database management system. It is released under the PostgreSQL license, which is a free and open source software license.
