Installing Add-Ons

Citavi's built-in features can be extended through the use of add-ons. Add-ons can be installed by individual users using the Add-On Manager in Citavi, as long as a system administrator has not disabled this feature (see disable add-on store).

How to use add-ons if the Add-On Store is disabled.

System administrators can use a software deployment too to deploy add-ons. This works even if the Add-On Store is disabled for end users. The firewall must allow communication with https://citavibackoffice6.blob.core.windows.net (Port 443), however.

  1. In the Add-On Manager, copy the ID from the add-on's description.
  2. On 64-bit computers enter the ID as a key in this location: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Swiss Academic Software\Citavi 6\AdminSettings\AddOns.
