I. Qlik Sense Overview

Qlik Sense is available as a subscription only. Customers can choose from several options to access Qlik Sense,
including SaaS and Client-Managed Editions. Qlik Sense SaaS Editions include Qlik Sense Enterprise (QSE) SaaS and
Qlik Sense Business, which provide a cloud infrastructure hosted and managed by Qlik. Qlik Sense Enterprise (QSE)
Client-Managed Edition allows customers to deploy on premises or in a customer-managed cloud. QSE Client-
Managed customers can also add QSE SaaS to the same subscription, which allows applications to be managed and
distributed across on-premise or cloud environments from a unified platform. User and access types for Qlik Sense
SaaS and QSE Client-Managed editions are listed below. Qlik Sense Tokens remain available only to customers with
existing Qlik Sense Token licenses.

A Qlik Sense Client-Managed site refers to a deployment, which is managed with a single license key and may cover
multiple servers or nodes (“Site”). A Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS tenant is a container within Qlik Cloud, which is
managed with a single license key (“Tenant”). Customers requiring multiple Client-Managed Sites may be required to
separately license usage entitlements for each Site. Customers requiring multiple Qlik Sense Tenants may license
subscriptions for separately managed Tenants or a centrally managed multitenant entitlement with multiple Tenants.
Test and Development Sites require separate licenses, except where expressly included in a subscription.

II. Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS
Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS subscriptions include one tenant and standard capacity limits as described below. Additional
tenants may require separate subscriptions. Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS is not available to MSP partners.

A. Access to Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS

Access Type Description

Professional User Professional User is a full developer and user license, which provides access to all
features of Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS. Professional User subscriptions include
access to Qlik GeoAnalytics Base and Qlik Web Connectors during the subscription
period and for so long as the products are generally available. Professional Users
are not available for external use by third parties.1

Analyzer User Analyzer User is a limited user license and allows users to access and explore Qlik
Sense Applications. Analyzer Users may not create or modify Qlik Sense
Applications, create or publish new sheets, update or modify data or access a
Personal Space. At least one Professional User is required to purchase an Analyzer
User.

Analyzer Capacity Pack Analyzer Capacity offers access to QSE SaaS with metered usage. Analyzer Capacity
is sold in packs of 1,000 minutes per month. Minutes are allocated and reset on a
monthly basis and any unused minutes remaining at the end of a month are
forfeited. Consumption of minutes is based on active use and in minimum
increments of 6 minutes. Usage is actively metered and users will be denied access
if the licensed capacity is exceeded. If a customer enables and consents to overage,
customer will be permitted to exceed purchased minutes and will be invoiced for
any overage (at 125% of list price) the following month. Analyzer Capacity
functionality is the same as the Analyzer User functionality. At least one
Professional User is required to purchase Analyzer Capacity.

B. QSE SaaS Capacity Limits (Standard)

Application Size The maximum size of an application, which contains the visualization 5 GB Maximum
Limit layer, load script and highly compressed data. The in-memory size
(in-memory) maximum refers to the amount of memory an application consumes
when it is being loaded with data in QSE SaaS.

Concurrent The maximum number of applications for all users that can be run at Unlimited
Applications any given time. If more than 1 application is used as a constant display
or billboard, application performance may be impacted. Display or
billboard use means circumventing the automatic logout function to
keep a login active and force an application to display without
interruption.

Scheduled Data The total number of data refreshes that can be scheduled in a single Unlimited
Reloads (per day) day. There is no limit on manual data refreshes. A data reload is an
update to the data model that changes its schema and/or content
using an automated or manual script.

* Except as permitted under a Qlik OEM Agreement Qlik Sense Product Metrics | 2
 Scheduled Data The total number of scheduled data refreshes that may occur at the same Unlimited
Reload Concurrency time. In some cases, queuing may occur due to high concurrency
demands.

Total Cloud Storage Cloud storage is limited to data specifically used for purposes of analytics. Unlimited
(on disk) Cloud storage capacity may not be used to store non-analytics data or as a
backup repository for unrelated data.

C. QSE SaaS Expanded Capacity

Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS subscriptions may be upgraded to include Expanded Capacity limits. Expanded Capacity has
the same limits as Standard Capacity but with the expanded limits as set forth below.

Application Size The maximum size of an application, which contains the visualization 10 GB Maximum
Limit layer, load script and highly compressed data. The in-memory size
(in-memory) maximum refers to the amount of memory an application consumes
when it is being loaded with data in Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS.

Concurrent Large The maximum number of Qlik Sense SaaS applications with expanded 2, 4 or 8 Applications
Applications size limits (between 5GB to 10GB) that can be run at any given time.

D. QSE SaaS Dedicated Capacity

Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS subscriptions may be upgraded to include Dedicated Capacity limits. Dedicated Capacity
has the same limits as Standard Capacity except as set forth below.

Dedicated Capacity The amount of compute capacity available per instance. Capacity Options:

CPU. Option to expand at
240 GB per instance.
Application Size The maximum size of an application, which contains the 50 GB Maximum
Limit visualization layer, load script and highly compressed data.
(in-memory) The in-memory size maximum refers to the amount of
memory an application consumes when it is being loaded
with data in Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS. Application size is
constrained by available resources and subject to the
maximum size limit.
Concurrent Large The maximum number of Qlik Sense SaaS applications with Capacity Limits
Applications expanded size limits (above 5GB) that can be run at any
given time is constrained by available resources up to the

Qlik Sense License Metrics | 3

 max application size limit.

E. QSE SaaS Multi-Tenant Entitlement. A QSE SaaS Multi-Tenant entitlement permits the deployment
of multiple tenants from a single subscription. Capacity and user-based entitlements may be allocated and deployed by
Customer across all tenants only up to the total contracted entitlement. Usage in excess of contracted entitlement is
subject to additional fees. If using Customer Managed Keys (CMK), a unique CMK is required to be deployed to each
tenant.

III. Qlik Sense Enterprise Client-Managed

Qlik Sense Enterprise Client-Managed edition provides a standard on-premises deployment with full create and consume
capabilities. The customer manages all aspects of the deployment, including infrastructure. Client-Managed
subscriptions include access to one Test and one Development Site for the subscription period.

 User Type* License Description

Analyzer Analyzer Capacity is a capacity-based license option and offers access to QSE Client-
Capacity Managed with metered usage. Analyzer Capacity is sold in packs of 1,000 minutes per
month. Minutes are allocated and reset on a monthly basis and any unused minutes
remaining at the end of a month are forfeited. Consumption of minutes is based on active
use and in minimum increments of 6 minutes. Usage is actively metered and users will be
denied access if the licensed capacity is exceeded. If a customer enables and consents to
overage, customer will be permitted to exceed purchased minutes and will be invoiced for
any overage (at 125% of list price) the following month. Analyzer Capacity functionality is
the same as the Analyzer User functionality and is administered with the Qlik License Service
beginning with the February 2019 release. Analyzer Capacity requires at least one
Professional User license for development.

*To access a Professional or Analyzer User license, the user must be uniquely identified and authenticated. An IP
address is not a valid form of user identification.

B. QSE SaaS Add-On for Client-Managed

Customers with a QSE Client-Managed subscription can add a QSE SaaS Add-On to their deployment for an additional
charge. QSE SaaS cannot be added to a QSE Client-Managed perpetual license. The QSE Add-On includes all of the
features of QSE SaaS. One tenant is included with a QSE SaaS Add-On subscription. QSE SaaS Add-On will include the
same user or access types and quantities as the underlying QSE Client-Managed subscription. With a Qlik Sense
Enterprise SaaS Add-On, named users have one identity and login across both QSE Client-Managed and SaaS
deployments and users can distribute content from QSE Client-Managed to QSE SaaS.

IV. Unified License

QlikView Add-On
A unified license refers to a common user license model between Qlik Sense Enterprise and QlikView. The QlikView
Add-On allows QlikView to be added to QSE SaaS and QSE Client-Managed deployments using a common license
model. A unified license requires use of the Qlik License Service, which enables Professional Users, Analyzer Users or
Analyzer Capacity Packs to be centrally managed and assigned or allocated for use with either QlikView or Qlik Sense.1

V. Qlik Sense Business

Qlik Sense Business (QSB) is a is a SaaS offering hosted on Qlik Cloud Services (QCS) to operationalize analytics across
groups and teams. QBS is made available to customers on a per user basis.

Reload no limit on manual data refreshes.
Concurrency

Shared Spaces 5 Allows groups of Users access to collaboratively create apps and/or interact with apps.

Personal Spaces 1 (per Users can create and share their own apps. Spaces are sections of the hub used to both
User) collaboratively develop Applications and control access to Applications.

B. Accessing Qlik Sense Business

In order to access Qlik Sense Business, each User must have accepted a customer’s invitation to join the customer’s
Qlik Sense Business group and have been registered (by email address) by customer’s account. User assignments are
made within the total number of Users in the subscription and may not be transferred to another user unless due to:
(i) termination of employment, or (ii) other business circumstance in which the user no longer requires access to Qlik
Sense Business (e.g., transfer of the user to a new business unit).

VI. Qlik Sense Enterprise Core-Based Site (CPU)

Qlik Sense Enterprise core-based sites are licensed based on the number of CPU Cores (“Cores”) on which the software
will operate and is not available for QSE SaaS. The license key limits the maximum number of Cores on which the Qlik
Associative Engine and its components may operate. Cores must be licensed for the Qlik Associative Engine on the
central node and any other node used for reloading data or providing user access to an application supported by the
Software. A Core means a single processing unit within a processor or CPU, whether physical or virtual, including a
vCPU or virtual core, which is capable of executing a single software thread at a time. If the software is installed across
multiple nodes, the total number of Cores on all nodes may not exceed the licensed number of Cores.

VII. Qlik Analytics Platform

The Qlik Analytics Platform includes a suite of application program interfaces (“APIs”) as well as a development toolkit
with developer, governance and management tools. Developers may build applications by using these APIs, the
developer toolkit, or other standard web and Windows® development tools. No built-in client functionality is included

Qlik Sense License Metrics | 6

with the software, therefore, access to QAP Applications must be through other platforms such as portals, webservers
or locally installed applications.

A. Cores

The Qlik Analytics Platform (“QAP”) is licensed based on the number of Cores on which the software will operate. The
software license is administered using a license key, which limits the maximum number of Cores on which the Qlik
Associative Engine (“Engine”) and its components may operate. Cores must be licensed for the Qlik Associative Engine
on the central node and any other node used for reloading data or providing user access to an application supported
by the software (“QAP Application”). A Core means a single processing unit within a processor or CPU, whether
physical or virtual, including a vCPU or virtual core, which is capable of executing a single software thread at a time. If
the software is installed across multiple nodes, the total number of Cores on all nodes may not exceed the licensed
number of Cores.

Use of QAP is subject to the following minimum configuration and license requirements.

QAP Editions Minimum Configuration License Model

Qlik Analytics Platform for OEM 4 Cores Subscription

Qlik Analytics Platform External Edition 4 Cores Perpetual or Subscription

B. Use of Qlik Analytics Platform

The right to access and view a QAP Application is restricted to external third parties authorized by the customer.
Authorized third parties may not create, upload, or modify any of the data, which they are permitted to view, and
may not install, download, or copy the Software in connection with viewing QAP Applications. QAP may not be used to
deploy Qlik applications for customer’s internal users and access to QAP Applications from inside the LAN is not
permitted, except for purposes of testing and validation. Separate Qlik Sense Enterprise licenses and environments
are required to develop Qlik applications or deploy Qlik applications for use internally. However, where access to a
QAP Application is both publicly available and no user authentication or login is required (e.g., from a public website),
such use is permitted regardless of whether the end user is internal or external.

C. Test Sites

The QAP test and development sites are licensed separately, and the test or development site does not have to mirror
the LEF for a production site. A QAP test or development site may not be used for production purposes.

VIII. Qlik Sense Enterprise Multi-Cloud Deployment

Subscriptions for Qlik Sense Enterprise Professional/Analyzer/Capacity licensed between June, 2018 to July, 2020 include
deployment options on Windows® and Qlik Cloud Services. QSE on Windows refers to the standard on-premises
deployment (or in a customer or third-party cloud) with full create and consume capabilities. This environment is where
application development and reloads occur and is required for a multi-cloud deployment. Applications can be distributed
from QSE for Windows to Qlik Cloud Services.

IX. Qlik Sense Tokens
Qlik Sense Tokens are only available to customers with existing Token licenses using a QSE Windows-based
deployment. Qlik Sense Tokens are used to assign access pass types that determine how users are able to access Qlik
Sense. For customers using Tokens, Qlik Sense is administered using a license key, which holds the number of Tokens
available to allocate as access passes. An access pass allows users to access streams and Applications within a Qlik
Sense site. A Qlik Sense site is a collection of one or more nodes connected to common central node.

A. Access Passes

There are different types of access passes to choose from and each type corresponds to a specific consumption model
for accessing Qlik Sense. Each access pass provides the Qlik Sense user with a certain type of access to Applications.
The following table lists the types of access passes that are available to the Qlik Sense Server.

Access Pass
License Description
Type

User Access Pass Available with A User Access Pass allows a unique and identified user to access the Qlik Sense hub. The
perpetual and access pass is valid within an entire Qlik Sense site. For example, if a user first connects to
subscription a node in the USA and then, at a later stage, connects to a node in the UK, the user
licenses
consumes the same access pass, if the two nodes are connected to the same central node.
The maximum number of parallel user connections for a single user of this type of access
pass is five (5). A user connection is the combination of device and browser that is used
by a single user to connect to Qlik Sense. If a user who already has a user connection
connects to Qlik Sense from another browser or device, an additional user connection is
established.
One (1) token corresponds to one (1) User Access Pass. User Access Passes are allocated
using the Qlik Management Console (QMC) Table Text.

Login Access Pass Available with A Login Access Pass allows an identified or anonymous user to access the hub for a
perpetual maximum of 60 continuous minutes per 28-day period. If the user exceeds the 60- minute
licenses only time limitation, the user connection does not time out. Instead, another login access pass
is used. If no more login access passes are available, the session is discontinued.
If an identified user is disconnected, the user can re-connect and continue to use the same
access pass, if re-connecting within the 60 minutes. If an anonymous user is disconnected,
the user gets a new access pass when re-connecting. The login access pass tracks the
number of logins and runs over 28 days. For example, if 1000 logins are assigned to Group
A, the users in Group A can use 1000 logins over 28 days. If 100 logins are consumed on
Day 1, the 100 logins are available again on Day 29.
The maximum number of parallel user connections for a single identified user of this type
of access pass is five (5). Note that an anonymous user can only have one (1) user
connection.
One (1) token corresponds to ten (10) Login Access Passes. Login Access Passes are
allocated using login access groups in the QMC Table Text

Qlik Sense License Metrics | 8

B. Removing Access Passes

Access Pass Type Description

When a User Access Pass is removed, it enters a quarantine period for seven (7) days starting
from the last time that the access pass was used. For example, if the access pass is used on
User Access Pass January 10, the Tokens used to allocate the access pass are not available for new allocations
until January 18. During the quarantine period, the original allocation of the access pass can
be reinstated, which means that the quarantine period ends and the user can start using the
access pass again.
When a Login Access Pass is removed, the tokens used to allocate the access pass
become available in accordance to the following procedure:
Login Access Pass
For every ten (10) unused Login Access Passes, one (1) Token is freed up.
For every ten (10) Login Access Passes that leave the used state after 28 days, one (1)
Token is freed up.

X. General
These general provisions are applicable to Qlik Sense Enterprise and Qlik Analytics Platform unless stated otherwise.
A. External Use

Licenses for which external use is permitted may be accessed by third parties authorized by the customer for viewing
Applications incidental to a business relationship with the authorized third parties. Authorized third parties shall not
be permitted to create Applications, or to create, upload, or modify any of the data which they are permitted to view.
Customer may not share license keys or permit third parties to install download or copy the Qlik Sense Software in
connection with viewing Applications.

License Internal Use External Use

Qlik Sense Professional User Y N**

Qlik Sense Analyzer User Y Y

Qlik Sense Analyzer Capacity Y Y

Qlik Sense Tokens Y Y

Qlik Sense CPU Core Y Y

Qlik Analytics Platform N* Y

Qlik Sense Business Y Y

* Except for purposes of application testing and validation
** Except as permitted under a Qlik OEM Agreement

B. Named User Licenses

Named user licenses are assigned to an identified user and may not be transferred or reallocated to another user
unless due to business circumstances in which the user no longer requires use of the license (e.g., termination or
transfer to a new business unit). Licenses may not be freely transferred, reassigned or otherwise shared among a pool

Qlik Sense License Metrics | 9

of users, so that the ratio of licenses to users is greater than one-to-one on a recurring basis. QSE user licenses
deployed on Windows, which are assigned to an identified user, will be subject to a quarantine period before the
license can be reassigned to another user.

Named User License Types Quarantine Period

Qlik Sense Professional User 7 days

Qlik Sense Analyzer User 7 days

Qlik Sense Tokens (User Access Pass) 7 days

C. Disaster Recovery
QSE customers using a Windows deployment may stand up a separate node for disaster recovery purposes. If there
is a need to separate the production node, license keys may be installed on additional servers as required for backup
or disaster recovery purposes on cold standby. No more than the licensed quantity of Software may be running at any
given time. A cold standby environment can be installed and ready to run, but cannot be live (i.e., the Windows
services cannot be started) and in use prior to the live environment being shut down.

D. Display Accounts & Public Displays (QSE on Windows)

User licenses are reserved for end user individuals, but may also be assigned to a service account to manage system
services (e.g., web servers) that require a user ID. One user license should be assigned to one service account, and one
service account should be designated per service or application.

A user license may also be designated for a monitor, screen or other publicly displayed device (“Display”) to publish or
display an Application to many viewers, provided the Display is not interactive. Use of a Display to circumvent user
licensing requirements is not permitted. One user license should be assigned for each Display. A single user license
may not be used to create parallel connections for multiple Displays.

E. Multiplexing/Shared User Accounts

Multiplexing occurs when multiple end users are able to simultaneously access a single system through a common
shared interface, such as a web server product. Because Qlik Sense may assign a license to the shared interface rather
than to each of the end users accessing Qlik Sense via the interface, multiplexing can result in the number of actual
users exceeding the number of users licensed. If Qlik Sense software is utilized with an interface that permits
multiplexing to occur, customer is required to license a quantity of licenses equivalent to the total number of actual
users at the multiplexing front end. The use of user login sharing, sharing of user credentials, shared logins or
passwords is prohibited in Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS.

F. Multiple Deployment Sites (QSE Client-Managed)

Description

A Qlik Sense deployment on Windows can include both a development node and a production
Production Site node supported by one license key. If there is a need to separate the production node from
the development node, separate license keys (or one per Qlik Sense site) would be required.

Qlik Sense License Metrics | 10

 Description

A Qlik Sense Test Site provides an environment separate from production to use for validation,
Test Site
testing, and quality assurance. A Qlik Test Site may not be used in production.

A Qlik Sense Development Site provides an environment separate from production to use for
development of Applications or release management prior to testing. A Qlik Development Site
Development Site may not be used in production. A Development Site is purchased separately from the Test and
Production Site. If a Development Site is purchased with production capacity, the Development
Site will mirror the production capacity at the time of purchase of the Development Site.
