When you have installed Qlik Sense you need to activate the license. This is performed from the Qlik Management Console (QMC). The first time you start the QMC, the License properties page is displayed.
The licensing in Qlik Sense is based on tokens, which are used to allocate access types to Qlik Sense users. Each access type provides the user with a certain type of access to Qlik Sense apps and has a specific token value.
The License Enabling File (LEF) determines the number of available tokens for a Qlik Sense site. You must activate the license to make the tokens available.
Information noteActivating the license automatically makes you the RootAdmin for the Qlik Sense site.
Information noteThe tokens used in Qlik Sense are not compatible with the Client Access Licenses (CALs) used in QlikView. In addition, QlikView licenses cannot be used in Qlik Sense.
