Install and use ATLAS.ti on multiple devices

Can I use ATLAS.ti on several different computers or laptops?

ATLAS.ti Licenses are not fixed to a single computer

ATLAS.ti licenses are not tied to a single computer, so you can install the desktop software on multiple devices if needed. For example, you might install ATLAS.ti on your office computer and on your laptop. Latest installation files for ATLAS.ti (Windows/Mac) are available at my.atlasti.com

You can install ATLAS.ti Software on as many devises as you wish. The installation process itself does not require a license - only the use of ATLAS.ti and its tools rely on you having an active license.

Please note that the number of devices that can be used at the same time depends on the number of license seats included in your license. Each time ATLAS.ti is opened, one seat is occupied for as long as the software remains in use.

Example

If your license provides 1 seat, ATLAS.ti can only be used on one device at a time. You may still install the software on multiple computers, but you must close it on one device before opening it on another.

If your license provides 5 seats, up to 5 users or devices can run ATLAS.ti simultaneously.

ATLAS.ti Web Installation

ATLAS.ti Web (web.atlasti.com) runs directly in your browser and does not require installation. Just like with the application, ATLAS.ti Web can only be actively used on one device at a time per seat. To continue working on another device, simply close the session on the first one by closing the browser tab where ATLAS.ti Web is opened.

Projects are not License

The Licenses only provide access to ATLAS.ti Software, but they do not store your projects. Change of licenses will not affect your projects.

ATLAS.ti Web projects are saved automatically and are connected to your account. They can be accessed at web.atlasti.com

ATLAS.ti Desktop projects are stored only locally on your computer. You can simply install the application to see the list of projects stored locally.

Adding More Seats

If you need to work from multiple locations at the same time, or if several people share the same license, you can increase the number of available seats by purchasing additional licenses. These seats are added to your license pool, allowing more users or devices to use ATLAS.ti simultaneously.

To learn more about license management, see our complete License Management Guide here.

When to contact support

Contact ATLAS.ti Support if:

• ATLAS.ti reports that no license seat is available even though the software has been closed on other devices.
• A seat appears to remain occupied after you have logged out or closed the application.
• You cannot start ATLAS.ti on a device even though your license should allow an available seat.
• The license information shown in the application does not match the license assigned to your account.
