System Requirements

Citavi will run under the following Windows versions:

•	Windows 8 (with .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 — please see the following Microsoft guide)

•Windows 7

•	Windows Vista

•	Windows XP (with Service Pack 3 and .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1)

•	Windows Server 2008

•	Windows Server 2003 (with .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1)

There are several options for installation. You can install Citavi locally on a PC, on a USB flash drive, or on a terminal server.

To use Citavi Team, all team members must be able to access a network share where the shared projects are saved. To access projects off-site, you may need a VPN connection.

Maximum Project Size

Most Citavi projects contain a few hundred to a few thousand references. A typical project requires 100 to 200 MB of RAM, which should not be a problem for most computers. If the number of references increases, the memory demands increase as well. 300-400 MB of RAM are needed for a project with approximately 40,000 references (without quotations). More than 1 GB is needed for a project containing 80,000 references. A modern computer with 4 GB of RAM can comfortably handle a project this size — in other words, there is no limit to the number of references from a technical standpoint. However, for Citavi to run optimally, we recommend up to 10,000 references per project on older computers and up to 20,000 references on newer computers.
