The licensing in Qlik Sense is based on tokens, which are used to allocate access passes that allow users to access Qlik Sense. There are different types of access passes to choose from and each type corresponds to a specific consumption model for accessing Qlik Sense.
A user connection is the combination of device and browser that is used by a single user to connect to Qlik Sense. If a user who already has a user connection connects to Qlik Sense from another browser or device, an additional user connection is established.
The following table lists the types of access passes that are available in Qlik Sense.
| Access type | Description |
|---|---|
| User access pass |
This type of access pass allows a unique and identified user to access the hub. The access pass is valid within an entire Qlik Sense site. For example, if a user first connects to a node in the USA and then, at a later stage, connects to a node in the UK, the user consumes the same access pass, if the two nodes are connected to the same central node. For information on sites and nodes, see Site. The maximum number of parallel user connections for a single user of this type of access pass is five (5). One (1) token corresponds to one (1) user access pass. User access passes are allocated using the Qlik Management Console (QMC). |
| Login access pass |
This type of access pass allows an identified or anonymous user to access the hub for a maximum of 60 continuous minutes per 28-day period. If the user exceeds the 60 minutes time limitation, the user connection does not time out. Instead, another login access pass is used. If no more login access passes are available, the user connection is discontinued. If an identified user is disconnected, the user can re-connect and continue to use the same access pass, if re-connecting within the 60 minutes. If an anonymous user is disconnected, the user gets a new access pass when re-connecting. The login access pass tracks the number of logins and runs over 28 days. For example, if 1000 logins are assigned to Group A, the users in Group A can use 1000 logins over 28 days. If 100 logins are consumed on Day 1, the 100 logins are available again on Day 29. The maximum number of parallel user connections for a single user of this type of access pass is five (5). Note that this only applies to identified users. An anonymous user can only have one (1) user connection. One (1) token corresponds to ten (10) login access passes. Login access passes are allocated using login access groups in the QMC. |
