What is a serial number?

Modified on Tue, 6 Aug at 4:40 PM

A MAXQDA serial number is a unique code that is used to identify your license.


Where do I find my serial number?

You will receive the serial number in your invoice or delivery email sent by our e-sell partner Cleverbridge GmbH. Please look for an e-mail from no-reply@cleverbridge.com 


What information contains my license?

The serial number contains information about the MAXQDA version, duration of validity, type of license and type of product. 

To activate a serial number, a connection to the Internet must be available so that our license server can check the validity. 


Versions

The version of MAXQDA is noted in the number:
