hmtoggle_plus1 Requirements for Using Citavi Team

All team members need a license for Citavi Team or for Citavi Reader.

Team projects must be saved on a Windows network share (LAN) that all team members have access to.

The network can be peer-to-peer or server-based.

If you want to work on a project online (WAN), you must make sure that the SMB/CIFS protocol is supported, which is usually not the case. unterstützen.

The following are not supported:

  •    A LAN using Samba
  •    A WAN in combination with WebDAV, Remote FTP, Dropbox or any similar protocol or online service.

Make sure that the folder in which the Team project is saved does not use the Windows offline files feature.

hmtoggle_plus1 Citavi on an Application Server

If you don't want to install Citavi locally, you can install the program on a central application server. Please contact Citati Support to discuss the licensing.

hmtoggle_plus1 Do not choose to make Citavi files available offline

Windows makes it possible to access files in network folders even if the folders are not available. You can select files that should be available offline with the option Always available offline. Windows then automatically creates copies of the file on your computer.

Do not use the Always available offline feature for Citavi project files or folders in which Citavi project files are saved.
