INSTALLING QLIKVIEW
If Microsoft IIS is to be used as web server, it must be installed prior to QlikView Server.
Note: If the required Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework is not installed on the target system, it is
downloaded from the Internet and included as part of the QlikView Server installation process.
It is recommended not to move folder locations after the QlikView Server installation is complete,
since many settings depend on the initial file locations. If the location of QlikView Server has to be
changed after the installation, proceed as follows:
1. Run QlikViewServer_x86Setup.exe or QlikViewServer_x64Setup.exe. If the User Account
Control dialog is displayed, click Yes to allow the program to make changes on this computer.
2. Click Next in the Welcome dialog.
3. Select the region for the location of the server. Click Next to continue.
4. Read the license agreement, select “I accept the terms in the license agreement,” and click
Next to continue.
5. Enter the customer information for QlikView Server. Click Next to continue.
6. All files are installed in the specified folder. To change the root folder for the installed files,
click Change to specify the preferred location. Finally, click Next to continue.
7. Select the type of installation you want to perform:
Full installation, Single machine with QlikView Webserver: Used to run all
components on a single machine with QlikView Web Server as web server.
Full installation, Single machine with Microsoft IIS: Used to run all components on a
single machine with Microsoft IIS as web server. This option is only available if IIS is
installed on the target machine.
Custom installation, select profiles: If this option is selected, select the profiles you
want to be included in the installation from the Profiles section in the dialog:
o QlikView Server: Installs QlikView Server, Directory Service Connector,
and the QlikView Server example documents.
o Reload/ Distribute Engine: Installs the Reload Engine and the QlikView
Distribution Service.
o Management Console: Installs the QlikView Management Service together with the
QlikView Management Console (QMC).
o Webserver: Installs the QlikView Web Server.
To make further configuration of features to be installed, click Config. When done, click Next.
Academic Program
To use pre-defined configuration of features, click Next.
8. Set the account that the QlikView Server and Publisher services are to run under. Click Next to
continue.
Note: If using a local administrator account on Windows XP Professional x64 SP2 that is not part of a
domain, the installation program cannot resolve the account. This means that the account for the
services in Computer Manager has to be set manually.
You can also select I want to specify the account to be used for the services later.
9. Select the IIS Website from the drop-down list and click Next.
Note: This step is only applicable if Full installation, Single machine with Microsoft IIS, was selected in
Step 7. If not, proceed directly to the next step.
10. Select the Service Authentication method:
Use digital certificates: Authenticate communication between QlikView servers using digital
certificates and SSL. This alternative is recommended in environments where not all servers
have access to a common Windows Active Directory or when the security provided by
certificate authentication is required. Note that digital certificates are only supported by
Windows Server 2008 R2.
Use QlikView Administrators Group: Authenticate communication between QlikView
services based on membership in the local Windows group QlikView Administrators. This
alternative can be used in environments where all servers that are part of the QlikView
installation can authenticate using a common Windows Active Directory.
Click Next to continue.
11. Click Install to start the installation.
This may take several minutes to complete.
12. Click Finish when the installation is complete.
13. Log off from Windows® and then log on again, so that group memberships added during the
installation are updated.
Note: It may be sufficient to log off from Windows and then log on again. However, it is recommended
to restart the machine to enable the QlikView Server functionality.
Academic Program
LOGGING THE INSTALLATION
The setup procedure is logged when Setup.exe is executed. The log files, QlikViewServerx86.wil for the
x86 version and QlikViewServerx64.wil for the x64 version, are stored in the Temp folder of the user (for
example, %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Temp). Each time an installation is executed, a new file is
generated, over-writing the previous log file.
OBTAINING THE MSI PACKAGE
If the MSI package is needed for the installation, proceed as follows to extract it from the .exe file:
1. Start the installation from the .exe file and wait until the first dialog opens.
2. Locate the MSI file (often stored with a random name, for example, ed34g.msi) in the Temp
folder in %UserProfile%\AppData\Local (C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings on
pre-Windows Vista systems).
3. Copy the .msi file to another location.
4. Exit the .exe installation.
5. Install QlikView Server using the .msi file. See Silent Installation (page 95) for information on
how to perform a silent installation. For additional information, see Deploying MSI Packages
with Group Policies (page 129).
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
After successfully installing QlikView Server, a license must be registered in QlikView Management
Console (QMC) to activate the installed software.
Note: If access is denied when starting QMC, log off from Windows and then log on again, so that group
memberships added during the installation are updated.
Note: Running real-time anti-virus protection on the server degrades the performance of QlikView
Server. It is recommended that the user documents, source documents, log directories, and .pgo files
are excluded from the anti-virus scanning.
RUNNING MICROSOFT IIS
If Microsoft IIS is used as web server in a Windows Server 2003 (or later) environment, enable ASP.NET
to ensure proper operation of the QlikView Server sample pages and the extended functions (for
example, QlikView Server tunnel).
Note: To optimize the performance when running Microsoft IIS and AJAX, turn on compression in the
web server. For information on how to configure IIS 6, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/cc730629%28WS.10%29.aspx. For information on how to configure IIS 7, see
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc782942%28WS.10%29.aspx.

LICENSING
The licensing is used to authenticate QlikView Server and allow it to run on a specific machine.
Go to System>Licenses in QMC, select a QlikView Server or Publisher, and fill in the license key and
Control fields on the QlikView Server License or QlikView Publisher License tab (depending on whether
QlikView Server or Publisher was chosen). If you are unable to locate your license key and control
number, please contact Qoncierge.
QLIKVIEW SERVER/PUBLISHER LICENSE TAB IN QMC
The License Enabler File (LEF), lef.txt, for QlikView Server is automatically saved in
%ProgramData%\QlikTech (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QlikTech on pre-
Windows Vista systems).
The PubLef.txt file for QlikView Publisher is saved in
%ProgramData%\QlikTech\ManagementService\Publisher LEF (C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\QlikTech\ManagementService\Publisher LEF on pre-Windows Vista systems).
Click Update License from Server to download a new lef.txt file from the QlikView LEF server. This is
primarily used when updating the number of Client Access Licenses (CALs).
If a box appears informing you that QlikView cannot contact the QlikView License Enable Server, then
please manually enter your License Enabling Information. If you are unable to locate your License
Enabling Information (LEF), please contact Qoncierge Service for assistance.
Academic Program Settings
The Academic Program Server does not come with authentication or security so it must run anonymous.
The QVS resource Security tab settings should be set to Always Anonymous.
