"Invalid Checksum" error when applying Qlik GeoAnalytics license

When the user install Qlik GeoAnalytics license (16 digits key), the following "Invalid Checksum" error is received: 





 

An "invalid checksum" is received when inputing the license error is that for some reason the license text does not match the checksum at the end of the LEF.

The checksum is there to prevent users from tampering with their LEFs, so if it doesn't match the license is rejected.

A LEF file should be used to apply license. Please contact Qlik Support to get the LEF file for your license. 

If the LEF file cannot be accepted even everything is done properly and the user may not be able to setup another brand new server, the following workaround may help to license GeoAnalytics server. 

Note: You need to install GeoAnalytics server on a different machine and license it successfully first:
 

• Stop the GeoAnalytics Server service on the server
• Copy the folder C:\ProgramData\Qlik GeoAnalytics Server\server3 from a working GeoAnalytics server  to the problematic one (note: only that folder, not config.ini in the folder above)
• Start the GeoAnalytics Server service on the server
