Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows November 2025 reaches end of support
The Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows November 2025 release reaches its end of support date on November 5, 2027.
Who’s affected
Teams running Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows on the November 2025 release who have not moved to a newer supported release. Support for that release ends on 2027-11-05.
Not affected: Customers already on a later Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows release, and cloud-hosted Qlik customers, since the record covers only this on-premise release.
What it costs
No price change in the record. The cost is upgrade effort: testing, server and environment work, and possible extra support risk if you stay on an unsupported release past the end date.
When to act
A Windows server upgrade needs time for a test environment, app and extension regression testing, and a change window, so starting about five months before 2027-11-05 leaves buffer.
Blast radius: Qlik apps, custom extensions and mashups, data connectors, authentication and proxy setups, and scheduled reloads could behave differently after an upgrade. A platform migration would also affect users' dashboards and training.
What should you do? decision tree
- you are already on a newer Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows releaseCheck that release's own end-of-support date and ignore this notice.
- you are on the November 2025 release and your apps, extensions and mashups are standardPlan an in-place or side-by-side upgrade to a current release well before 2027-11-05.
- you have heavily customized extensions, custom connectors or third-party integrationsBuild a staging environment now, regression test against a newer release, and fix compatibility issues before scheduling cutover.
- you are considering leaving on-premise QlikStart the platform evaluation now, since a migration takes much longer than an upgrade, and run both in parallel.
- none of the above fits and you cannot upgrade in timeDocument the risk, confirm with Qlik what support you get after the date, and set a firm upgrade date.
Options
- WaitStay put for now: the release is supported until 2027-11-05. Use the time to inventory apps, extensions and integrations.
- OptimizeRetire unused apps and clean up extensions before upgrading to shrink the testing scope.
- UpgradeUpgrade to a newer supported Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows release. Releases are generally supported for about 2 years, so plan recurring upgrades.
- MigrateMove to another BI platform if you want to leave the on-premise upgrade cycle. This takes the longest and costs the most effort.
