On the QlikView Licenses tab, you can activate, update, and consult the details of your QlikView Server (QVS) product license. The available options change based on what license you choose to activate: a license that requires serial and control number, or a license that requires a signed key.
Use Signed Key License
If you select Signed License Key, it shows only the fields that are relevant for licensing QlikView Server (QVS) with a signed key. If unselected, it shows only the field specific for licensing QlikView Server (QVS) with a serial number and control number.
When using a serial and control number
If you use the legacy license (serial number + control number), the signed key options remains visible in the UI. It is possible to switch to a signed key at a later moment.

Paste the Contents of LEF File Here (Optional)
This is an alternative to the use of Update License from Server, to add a product license. Should the server not be able to access the QVS License Enabler File (LEF) information through the Internet, this information can be obtained from the product vendor, instead. Contact the product vendor for more information.
