# Installing the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool The Qlik Analytics Migration Tool includes a guided installer that streamlines deployment while supporting advanced configurations for enterprise environments. This installation guide outlines each step, including certificate setup, port validation, service account configuration, and final verification. ## Prerequisites Confirm that all [System requirements](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/migration/Content/AnalyticsMigrationTool/Installation/System-Requirements.htm) are met, including supported operating systems, disk space, memory, permissions, and network access. Information note If you are working with Qlik Cloud Government or Qlik Cloud Government - DoD, ensure you have activated FIPS encryption before installing. ## Installation steps ### 1. Download the installer Download the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool installer from the [Qlik Community](https://community.qlik.com/t5/Download-Qlik-Products/tkb-p/Downloads). ### 2. Run the installer as administrator Right-click the downloaded `.exe` file and select Run as administrator to launch the guided setup. ### 3. Accept the license agreement Do the following: 1. Review the End User License Agreement. 2. Select Accept to proceed. ### 4. Install required runtime If prompted, install the required .NET packages. ### 5. Enter company name Provide a company name to be used as a display label within the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool. Information note This does not need to reflect a legal entity. ### 6. Configure certificate and domain #### Dedicated server * Certificate: Select a valid third-party SSL/TLS certificate from the LocalMachine certificate store. * Domain: Enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) that matches the certificate (for example, `migrationtool.company.com`). Ensure the certificate presented in the browser after installation matches the configured domain. A browser warning typically indicates a mismatch. #### Non-dedicated server (evaluation) * Certificate: Use a self-signed certificate. ### 7. Configure ports * Default Ports: * HTTP: 9037 * HTTPS: 9038 * Dedicated Server Option: * HTTP: 80 * HTTPS: 443 To validate port availability: * `netstat -ano | findstr :80` * `netstat -ano | findstr :443` * `netstat -ano | findstr :9037` * `netstat -ano | findstr :9038` To identify which process is using a port: * `tasklist /FI "PID eq "` ### 8. Configure optional email notifications Enter SMTP server details to enable user invitation notifications via email. This step is optional. ### 9. Select authentication type Choose Windows Authentication (default and recommended). Azure Entra ID is also supported, currently in preview and not fully documented. ### 10. Set administrator and service account #### Admin user Enter a Windows account to serve as the initial administrator. This account will be used to access the web interface after installation. #### Service account Select the Windows service account type: * `Windows User`: Specify a domain account manually. * `Local System`: Use the built-in system context. Information note **Important:** If migrating file-based data (for example, QVDs, CSVs, TXT), select a domain account with appropriate access to the necessary file shares. If file migration is not required, `Local System` may be used. If you are using direct file paths to non-network drives (example: the data connection is an absolute path to the C or D drives), then either the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool must be installed on same server as Qlik Sense or those data connections must be changed to reference network share folder paths. ##### Updating the service account After installation Do the following: 1. Open services.msc. 2. Locate Qlik Analytics Migration Tool. 3. Right-click → Properties → Log On tab. 4. Select This account and provide domain credentials. 5. Click Apply, then restart the service. ### 11. Configure proxy (optional) If a proxy is required for outbound internet access: * Check the Enable Proxy box. * Enter the proxy address and port. * Check the Use default Windows credentials box, or enter authentication credentials if applicable. ### 12. Select installation directory Choose a destination folder with sufficient free space to support: * Exported or imported Qlik apps * Migrated data files (QVDs, CSVs, and so on) * Log files and backups Qlik apps are exported without data by default. When exporting with data or migrating large datasets, ensure sufficient disk capacity. ### 13. Final setup options * Create Desktop Shortcut: Add a shortcut to the desktop. * Launch Application After Install: Automatically open the tool in the browser upon completion. Select Install to begin the installation process. ## Completion After installation: If Launch Application After Install was enabled, the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool will open automatically. Otherwise, access the tool using a supported browser: * If a self-signed certificate was used on a non-dedicated machine: `https://:` * If a third-party certificate was used: `https://` (using port 443, else include selected HTTPS port) Log in using the configured admin account and verify that: * The web interface is accessible. * All services are operational. ## Related pages * [System requirements](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/migration/Content/AnalyticsMigrationTool/Installation/Installing-the-Qlik-Analytics-Migration-Tool.htm#system-requirements) * [Planning Your migration](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/migration/Content/AnalyticsMigrationTool/Installation/Installing-the-Qlik-Analytics-Migration-Tool.htm#planning-your-migration) * [Managing users](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/migration/Content/AnalyticsMigrationTool/Installation/Installing-the-Qlik-Analytics-Migration-Tool.htm#managing-users) * [Creating plans](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/migration/Content/AnalyticsMigrationTool/Installation/Installing-the-Qlik-Analytics-Migration-Tool.htm#creating-plans) * [Running jobs](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/migration/Content/AnalyticsMigrationTool/Installation/Installing-the-Qlik-Analytics-Migration-Tool.htm#managing-jobs)
