System requirements for Qlik NPrinting Server

This section lists the minimum hardware and software requirements for Qlik NPrinting Server.

Qlik NPrinting will work on both physical and virtual machines. However, virtualized applications are not supported. For example, Qlik NPrinting Engine will not work if it is installed on a computer with virtualized versions of QlikView Desktop and Microsoft Office distributed from a different computer. QlikView Desktop and Microsoft Office must be installed locally on the same physical or virtual machine where the Qlik NPrinting components are installed.

For more information on virtual applications, see What is Application Virtualization?

Requirements

The hardware requirements listed on this page are for configurations where each Qlik NPrinting component is installed on a different computer. If you install more than one component on the same computer, the minimum hardware requirements increase.

• Platforms:
• Microsoft Windows Server 2016
• Microsoft Windows Server 2019
• Microsoft Windows Server 2022

• Processors (CPUs): Multi-core x64 compatible processors with a minimum of two cores.
• Memory: 8 GB minimum
• Qlik NPrinting can only be installed on C drives.
• Disk space: 500 MB minimum if audit trail is turned off, or 2.5 GB if audit trail is enabled.
Information noteThe actual disk space required depends on multiple factors. The size of your database, reports, and cached files will affect your space requirements. For larger apps and reports, you will need more than 500 MB of disk space.
• Storage: Only Windows, local or shared, storage is supported.

• Microsoft Internet Explorer is not supported by Qlik NPrinting. However, if Microsoft Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration is turned on, it may cause errors. For more information, see Microsoft Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration is blocking QV.exe (QlikView) and reporting_web_renderer.exe (Qlik Sense).

• Server clocks:

  Qlik NPrinting Server and Qlik NPrinting EngineWindows server clocks must be synchronized within a tolerance of 2 seconds. A Windows server synchronizes its clock with the domain controller clock, so, if Qlik NPrinting Server and Qlik NPrinting Engine are in the same domain, clocks will be in sync. You should not manually remove this option. If you install Qlik NPrinting Server and Qlik NPrinting Engine on different Windows server domains, you must ensure that clocks are synchronized within a tolerance of 2 seconds.

• Platform security: TLS 1.2 must be enabled.
