MAXQDA Features
Take
a look at the features of MAXQDA and compare versions with each other.
The Single User License may be used by one person with up to two
installations. Both installations may not be used simultaneously.
However, the same project can be worked on from both
computers, even if one is a Mac and one is a PC. Under no
circumstances they may be used by different persons.
Portable License
The Portable License is installed on a USB flash drive, which allows
the license holder to open MAXQDA directly from the USB on
different computers. The customer installs the software on their
own hardware and has to assume full responsibility for it.
A portable license makes MAXQDA a physical item tied to the
specific USB flash drive it is installed on. Under no circumstances
does VERBI Software assume any responsibility in the case that the
MAXQDA license becomes unavailable due to loss, theft, or
damage of the USB containing the software.
Regardless of the legal responsibility of the license holder we
recommend users who cannot access their MAXQDA license due
to hardware problems to contact the MAXQDA online support in
order to work out a satisfying individual solution.
Network License
Network Licenses are server-based licenses, which allow the
simultaneous use of the software by a predetermined number of
users (starting with 5). The total number of computers on which
the software can be installed is twice as high (floating use).
Network licenses need to be set up and managed with our license
management tool, MAXQDA License Service. This requires the
server PC to have Windows XP or newer, but Windows and Mac
clients may thereafter both be connected to the license.
