It sounds like you are using QlikView Personal Edition (PE).  PE only allows you to open files you created yourself. If you try to open a file created by someone else, you will be asked if you want to open it in "recovery" mode. If you choose "continue", you will open it but you can no longer open the files you created before.

Okay if QV Desktop is still in Personal Edition, you'll have to properly license it first before you're able to open any QVWs which you didn't create.  Refer to the below documentation.

Files in AA format can be opened with Apple iTunes in Mac Operating systems and with Audible AudibleManager, Nero 11, RapidSolution Tunebite 9, SoundTaxi Media Suite and TuneCab in Microsoft Windows-based systems.

@Vicfer6,

Is QlikView Desktop licensed or are you using Personal Edition?

Is a corporative license I just request the installation to the corporative server and then install it.

But I think appears the Personal Edition legend in the top of the window
