Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows November 2024 reaches end of support
The Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows November 2024 release reaches its end of support date on November 26, 2026.
Who’s affected
Teams running Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows at the November 2024 release, self-hosted on Windows servers. After November 26, 2026 this release is out of support, so you need to move to a newer supported release.
Not affected: Customers already on a later Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows release, and Qlik Cloud customers who don't run this on-premise version.
What it costs
The record shows no price change. The cost is upgrade effort: testing, server downtime and extension/mashup validation, plus risk from running an unsupported release if you stay put.
When to act
End of support is about 6 weeks away, so a minor in-place upgrade to a newer release should start now, with a buffer for testing and a change window.
Blast radius: Custom extensions, mashups, APIs and scripts, plus connectors and security/audit sign-off for unsupported software, may be affected by the upgrade or by remaining on this release.
What should you do? decision tree
- you are already on a later Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows releaseNo action needed; confirm the version in the QMC and note the support end date of your current release.
- you are on November 2024 and can take a change window before November 26, 2026Upgrade to a currently supported release; back up the repository and shared persistence first and test in staging.
- you rely on custom extensions, mashups or third-party add-onsCheck compatibility with the target release now and fix or replace broken items before the upgrade.
- you cannot upgrade before the dateAsk your Qlik account team about support options, document the risk acceptance internally, and schedule the upgrade at the next window.
- you are considering leaving Qlik anywayTreat the upgrade as a stopgap and start a BI migration evaluation in parallel.
Options
- WaitStay on November 2024 and accept running unsupported; only viable short term for low-risk, internal-only deployments with a dated upgrade plan.
- UpgradeUpgrade in place to a newer supported Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows release; validate in staging first, then roll out in a planned change window.
- NegotiateAsk Qlik about support options or upgrade assistance if you can't meet the date, ideally as part of your next renewal conversation.
- MigrateMove to Qlik Cloud or another BI platform if you want to stop managing Windows servers and a recurring release upgrade cycle.
