Changing the license

The license properties can be changed after they have been set for the first time.

Changing a LEF license

Updating the LEF does the following:

  • User-based license: Changes the number of professional and analyzer access allocations for the Qlik Sense site.
  • Token-based license: Changes the number of tokens for the Qlik Sense site. You use the tokens on access types to give the users access to the hub.
Information noteIn addition to the site license accepting licenses with serial and control number, there is also the license with a signed key. You must use a license with a signed key if you are licensing analyzer capacity access. Please note that after changing to a license with a signed key, you cannot return to using the old serial and control number license model.
