Entering a License Key

After installation, Citavi initially runs as Citavi Free. This version allows you to create as many projects as you want, each limited to 100 references. Citavi Free has no other functional limitations and no expiration date.

If you need to store more than 100 references in a project, you will need Citavi Pro or Citavi Team. Purchasing a license key allows you to unlock your copy of Citavi Free into Citavi Pro or Citavi Team, and you can continue working with data that you have already entered into existing projects. Citavi license keys are available from the Citavi website and from resellers.

Exception: Site Licenses

Many educational institutions, companies, and organizations have purchased site licenses for their employees and students. As a member of a participating organization, you can request a free license key from the Citavi website. This license key will be valid for the duration of the organization's site license agreement. If your organization renews its license agreement, we will email you the new license key. If your organization does not renew its license agreement, or if you leave the organization, you can purchase a personal license at the reduced upgrade price. This license will never expire. If your site license expires and you have not entered a new license key, Citavi will continue to work as Citavi Free and you will still be able to view and export all of your data.
