5.3 Serialization
Part 2 Installation
If you get your QlikView license from a QlikView Server or if you have a Personal Edition of QlikView no
serialization is necessary. It is however possible to acquire a serial number for this product and enter it in
User Preferences: License page. A registered QlikView will allow you to work offline without any contact
with a Qlikview Server for longer periods (periods longer than 30 days). Contact your QlikView vendor for
details.
Note!
The serialization process requires network access or optionally phone activation!
Once you have installed and, optionally, serialized your copy of QlikView, you can start using the program.
5.4 Network Distribution of QlikView
This type of installation is useful if you have many licenses and want to make sure that all users run the
same version of QlikView. Each user still needs a separate license number.
To distribute a QlikView installation, you need the installation DVD. Serial numbers and control numbers
are not necessary until you start your first QlikView session on the client computer.

program is no longer needed. The Microsoft Windows Installer technique has built-in support for this
