This section explains how to obtain a Replication Management license and lists the processes that continue even when the license expires or is invalid.

## Obtaining a Replication Management license

A Replication Management license is required in order to use Qlik Enterprise Manager. If no license is detected, a Register License message will be displayed when you open the Qlik Enterprise Manager Console.

Information note

The procedure below does not apply when installing Enterprise Manager in a [High Availability Cluster](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/enterprise-manager/May2026/Content/EnterpriseManager/Main/Cluster/aem_cluster_setup.htm). To obtain a Replication Management license for Enterprise Manager in a High Availability Cluster, you must provide your Qlik Sales Representative with the following information, depending on which Windows version the cluster is running:

* Windows Server 2016: The official cluster FQDN.

* Windows Server 2012 R2: The FQDN of each of the cluster nodes and the official cluster FQDN.

To obtain a license

1. [Open the Qlik Enterprise Manager Console](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/enterprise-manager/May2026/Content/EnterpriseManager/Main/Installation/Starting_to_Work_with_the_AEM_Console.htm) and copy the Enterprise Manager machine name from either of the following locations:

   * The **Register License** message that is displayed when you open the Qlik Enterprise Manager Console.
