  • To download NVivo, log into your myNVivo portal and download from the ‘Downloads’ page (top menu).
Step 2: Activating NVivo
If you need to:  
  • Activate a new installation 
  • Transition a trial license to a paid license
  • Reactivate NVivo to use a new license, for example, if you need to switch from your personal license to your university’s license
