Activating license

The first time you start the Qlik Management Console (QMC), the License properties page is displayed. All fields are empty and you must enter the license information from the License Enabling File (LEF). This makes you the root administrator (RootAdmin) for the Qlik Sense site.

Do the following:

1. Fill out all mandatory fields.

   License properties

   The property group License contains properties related to the license for the Qlik Sense system. All fields are mandatory and must not be empty.

   Property name	Description
   Owner name	The user name of the Qlik Sense product owner.
   Owner organization	The name of the organization that the Qlik Sense product owner is a member of.
   Serial number	The serial number assigned to the Qlik Sense software.
   Control number	The control number assigned to the Qlik Sense software.
   LEF	The License Enabler File (LEF) assigned to the Qlik Sense software.

2. Click Get LEF from server to download an LEF file from the Qlik Sense LEF server. Alternatively, copy the LEF information from an LEF file and paste it in the LEF field. Failed to get LEF from server is displayed if the serial number or control number is incorrect.

   LEF was successfully retrieved is displayed when a valid serial number and control number have been entered.

3. Click Apply in the action bar to apply and save your changes. Failed to apply changes is displayed if any value is incorrect.

   The Successfully licensed dialog displays the number of tokens the LEF file provides and also indicates that you must manage the access types to allow user access to Qlik Sense.

4. Click OK to close the dialog.

   The padlock symbol is now red to indicate that the properties have been closed for editing.

You have now activated the license and made the tokens available. Next you need to allocate user access to yourself (the preferred access type).
