Update Drop Dead Dates for QlikMaps in Qlik View and Qlik Sense

For Qlik Sense

  1. Download the corresponding version of Qlik Sense QlikMaps folder from the Sharefile
  2. Unzip the folder and open the global.min.js file in a text editor like VSCode
  3. Search for "auth,date" and find the 5 character code associated with it (see screenshot 1)
  4. This code is the drop dead date saved as a base 17 integer
  5. You can assign a new drop dead date by replacing this with a different date. I use the Chrome console to create a new date as an integer with YYYYMMDD and then convert it to base 17 (screenshot 2)
  6. Once you have updated the code, rezip the folder and upload it back up to Sharefile under the customer's name

For Qlik View

  1. Download the QlikMaps_for_MQ_Polygons.qar file from the Sharefile and unzip it
  2. Open the qm.min.js file in a text editor like VS Code
  3. Search for "Your evaluation time period for QlikMaps has expired" in the file. There should be a normal date stored as YYYYMMDD in base 10 directly before this message (see screenshot)
  4. Update the date with the new drop dead date
  5. Save the file, zip the folder, and rename the file to use the .qar extension
  6. Upload the rebuilt .qar file back up to Sharefile under the client's name
