Refreshing the license definition
With a signed license key, refresh the license definition to manually update the license properties in QMC when there has been a change to the license. Only the RootAdmin and DeploymentAdmin roles can refresh the license definition. You cannot refresh the license definition while editing the signed license key in QMC or if the signed license key has expired.
Do the following:
-
Select License management on the QMC start page or from the Start
drop-down menu to display the overview. -
Select Site license in the panel to the right.
-
Click Refresh license definition in the action bar to synchronize any changes to the license with the license definition in QMC.
The License definition updated field shows the timestamp when was the license definition was last updated. The timestamp might take up to 10 minutes to reflect a change. This is because the Qlik Sense Repository Service only polls the License Backend Server (LBS) for the latest license definition every 10 minutes. For example, if you manually refresh the license definition at 9 PM, and the next QRS poll is at 9:09 PM, the timestamp will be updated only at 9:09 PM.
