Well, Trinity College Dublin have N4 on their server, they used to have N5,
but uninstalled it and never put on N6. They have the nVivo demo but not
the full version. I can investigate further if you like, or if there are any
trinity staff on this list (or any people from big institutions) they could
enlighten us.. I'm finding it very difficult, as I'm forced to teach
post-grads a version of Nudist that is virtually obsolete, and people are
put off by the problems in using N4. I bring in my version of N6 to show
them how easy it is to use, and a lot of them are then encouraged to buy it
for themselves. If N6 was available on servers my students wouldn't be so
discouraged.
Any info anyone?

Subject: Using N6 (or NVivo) in a public lab context
Does anyone out there have experience of running N6 or NVivo in a
computing lab situation? We are currently running Nud*ist 4
installed on a Novell server, with licences for 5 concurrent users
managed with SofTrack. We need to upgrade and would like to
run N6 or NVivo (have not yet decided which) on the same basis.
We can neither afford, nor do we need, a local install on each of
the 23 PCs in the lab (currently on Win95 but moving to WinXP in
the summer). QSR are telling me that neither N6 nor NVivo will
work on a server installation but that they need to be locally
installed. Does anyone know any different? And if so, can you
provide information on tips and pitfalls?
