Frequently Asked Questions


Problem: I cannot find my Q-Play code in Q-Cal.
Solution: Make sure to check in the Q-Cal editor under SignageViews.

Problem: The calendar is not displaying after I have published my design.
Solution: Check that the Q-Play code is entered correctly. If the problem persists, try refreshing your device or checking the internet connection.

Problem: I don’t have a Q-Play code, and it says “Upgrade.”
Solution: If it says “Upgrade” instead of providing a Q-Play code, this means you don’t have a Q-Cal license. To access the Q-Play code and use the app, you need a valid license. Contact NordicScreen’s sales department to upgrade your account and obtain the necessary license.
