Technical Information for Server-Based Licenses


Usage in a Server-Client Environment

Install the service and license manager on a server within your institution and activate your license there. MAXQDA is installed on client computers and configured to connect to your server to use the license.


Client Management

Access control on your server is managed via whitelists and blacklists in the license manager, depending on the license. Clients can be registered manually or automatically. Access for VIP users can be reserved.


Connecting Client Computers to Your Server

To use MAXQDA, client computers must connect to your server. This can be done via your institution’s network or externally via a VPN connection.


Operating Systems

The license manager must be installed on a Windows server. Client computers can be Windows and/or Mac OS. All system requirements can be found here.
