NVivo Server licensing

NVivo and NVivo Server are separate software products. NVivo Server is a server-side application that manages NVivo projects in a centralized database repository—allowing users to work on the same project at the same time.

To work with NVivo projects stored on a server, your organization needs licenses for both NVivo and NVivo Server. Each client machine needs an NVivo license, and a license is also required to install NVivo Server on the server. Refer to Understand licensing for NVivo Server for more information.

NVivo editions

There are three editions of NVivo 11 Windows client software: Starter, Pro and Plus. Each edition features a different level of functionality to support a range of projects and research needs.

The client license key determines the edition—some licenses allow access to more than one edition. Users with access to multiple editions can switch between them in Application Options.
