A new NVivo license was assigned to you - how to activate it
You've been given access to use NVivo under a multiple perpetual license. To get started, there are two steps:
-
Create a myLumivero profile if you do not already have one.
-
Install and activate NVivo.
You may already have NVivo installed, in which case you need to re-activate it so it uses the account with the multiple perpetual license.
myLumivero PROFILE
If you already have a myLumivero profile (using the email address that the access notification email you received was sent to) then proceed to install and activate NVivo.
If you don't have a myLumivero profile then you should have received an email asking you to sign up to one - in addition to the access notification email. A user profile has been started for you. Please click the link in the email to complete the profile.
NOTE: If you didn't get the 'Sign up to myNVivo' email, check your spam folder. If you can’t find it, go to my.Lumivero, enter your email address (the one that received the invitation email) and follow the prompts to complete your profile.
