Citavi requires one of the following:
- Windows 7
- Windows Vista (with .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1)
- Windows XP (with all updates and .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1)
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Windows Server 2008 (with .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1)
- Windows Server 2003 (with all updates and .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1)
To Use Team Features:
- Install the Latest Version
The team features of Citavi require version 3.1 or later to be installed on each team member's computer or USB flash drive (or on a server, see below).
- Provide Shared Storage
Team projects must be saved on a network share that all team members have access to. For online storage, you must make sure that the SMB/CIFS protocol is supported, which is usually not the case. One compatible service is the paid HiDrive service. (The free service is not compatible.)
- Distribute Licenses
Each team member needs to enter a license key for Citavi. For members that need to edit projects, a Citavi Team license is needed. For members that only need to read (but not edit) projects, a Citavi Reader license is sufficient. You can buy licenses, visit our online store.
If you want to try Citavi Team before you buy, you can use Citavi Free or Citavi Pro to use team projects, as long as the number of references in all open projects is under 100.
- Assign Roles to Members (Optional)
When a team member needs read-only access to some team projects, but needs to be able to edit others, then you can assign a role to a user to restrict what they can do. The team project's project leader can assign roles to individual members: project leader, author, or reader.
Providing Citavi on an Application Server
If you do not want to install Citavi individually on each client computer, you can install Citavi on an application server. Please contact Citavi support for assistance with licensing.
