Subscription and entitlement sharing

Cadence: Weekly (allocation review) and Yearly (license reconciliation)

Subscription model: Multi-tenant subscriptions

Roles: Tenant Admin (TA), Service Account Owner (SAO)

Last verified: 2026-05

Benefits:

• Prevents one tenant from consuming the entire pooled entitlement
• Surfaces value-meter consumption attributable to each tenant
• Aligns multi-tenant allocation with revised business priorities at renewal

Goal

All tenants under a single Qlik Cloud subscription share one entitlement. That has direct administrative consequences:

• User-license counts (Professional / Analyzer for user-based; pooled User capacity for capacity-based) are pooled. One tenant can consume them all unless autoAssignProfessional / autoAssignAnalyzer is disabled at the tenant level for user-based subscriptions. (Configure tenant settings on qlik.dev)
• Value meters such as Data for Analysis, Data Moved, automation runs, deployed models, and report counts are pooled across all tenants in the subscription. (Subscription value meters)
• The number of tenants you can create is itself an entitlement attribute (for example, 1 tenant vs 1,000 tenants); contact Qlik Sales to enable multi-tenant provisioning if your subscription doesn't already have it. (Platform operations overview)
