Starting the QMC

A new session is started when you log in to the Qlik Management Console (QMC). You can start from one of the following situations:

• If the Internet browser tab with your previous session is still open you should see a Login dialog in the middle of the page. Click the Login button to start a new session.

• Otherwise, start the QMC from the Qlik Sense program group in the Start menu or enter the address of the QMC in the address field of your Internet browser.

  • By default the QMC address is https://<QPS server name>/qmc.
  • Unencrypted communication is allowed if the proxy property Allow HTTP is checked; this means that both https (secure communication) and (http) unencrypted communication is allowed. Then the QMC address is https://<QPS server name>:Service listen port HTTP/qmc (where https can be replaced by http).
  Information noteYou may be prompted to enter your user name and password.

The QMC opens at the Start page.

Starting the QMC for the first time after installation

The first time you access the Qlik Management Console (QMC) after a Qlik Sense installation you must activate the license.

Do the following:

1. Enter the address of the QMC in the address field of your Internet browser.

   The QMC opens at the Site license page.

   Information noteYou may be prompted to enter your user name and password.

2. Activate your license.

   This makes you the root administrator for the Qlik Sense site that is assigned to the RootAdmin role. Also, a number of tokens become available.

   The License Enabling File (LEF) determines the number of tokens that you can allocate to different access types. An access type allows the users to access streams and apps within a Qlik Sense site. You can adjust the token usage according to the usage need over time.

You have now started the your first QMC session. The next step is to allocate user access to yourself.
