Qlik Sense® Desktop no longer free

UPDATE - June 10, 2020

The possibility to Qlik Sense Desktop (June 2020 or later) to authenticate against Qlik Sense Business and Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS has been released. So from now on you can use a valid subscription Qlik Sense Business or Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS will continue to use the Qlik SenseDesktop.

You can request a 30-day free trial period THROUGH THIS LINK. Qlik Sense® Desktop as a product will continue to exist but is no longer free to use. With this steps Qlik for the first time in its history from the so-called “freemium” model.

The reason is that Qlik wants to adapt to changing customer preferences and conform to cloud industry standards. Qlik will deprecate the 'freemium' model for both the cloud and desktop versions of Qlik Sense. In its place comes the free trial with limited time (try 30 days free). This means that both Qlik Sense Cloud Basic as Qlik Sense Desktop will no longer be free. It is important to note that Qlik Sense Desktop is a supported part of the Qlik Sense product family remains.

Qlik is aware of the impact of this change and will make these changes gradually over a number of months so that customers can adapt to the new situation. Qlik will start removing the download from qlik.com, and existing Qlik Sense Desktop users will be notified of the change and will eventually stop using it for free Qlik Sense Desktop. Victa will Qlik Continue to offer Sense ® Desktop for free on our website until June 30, 2020. After this, customers will still receive the Qlik Sense Desktop can download but will require a license (subscription to Qlik Sense Enterprise) must be purchased.

Customers who Qlik Sense still have the option to enter into a free trial period on our Qlik Sense® Cloud. This will create a complete environment of Qlik Sense Enterprise installed on a secure cloud server which you can use for free for 30 days. This gives customers the opportunity to Qlik Test Sense (demo models or own data) without the effort of local installation. In Qlik Sense Cloud includes all functions Qlik Sense Desktop and much more.
