Are there any technical limitations for MAXQDA?

In principle, there are only a few technical limits in MAXQDA. However, it should be noted that performance can be affected by several thousand documents, codes and codings in a project. Therefore, some qualitative answers should be given here to the question of how many documents, codes and coded segments can be processed in a project with MAXQDA. This question cannot be answered in general terms and should be checked individually, since the performance of MAXQDA also depends on the hardware used.

In general, this question only arises for very few projects that involve the analysis of very large amounts of data, and not for standard projects in qualitative or mixed-methods research.
