License Management¶
There are various options for including a license:
Option 1: Upload a license (e.g. license.txt) through the upload wizard inside the extension
Option 2: Place a license.txt inside the qgeo directory
Option 3: Include a license inside the extension properties panel
Option 4: Upload a license (e.g. license.txt) to Qlik Sense server and place it inside the resources folder
Option 1: Upload license.txt¶
Upload a valid license file (filename must be license.txt) through the upload wizard of the extension. This options only works on QLik Sense Desktop (for QLik Sense Server use Option 4).
