For Windows: Compatibility with previous versions of NVivo
NVivo 12 (Windows) allow users to open and work with projects from previous versions of QSR software: NVivo 11, NVivo 10, NVivo 9, NVivo 8, NVivo 7, NVivo 2, NVivo 1, N6 (NUD*IST 6), N5 and N4.
These previous versions can continue to operate on the same computer as NVivo 12 (Windows).
NVivo provides backward compatibility—if a user with a later version of NVivo attempts to open a project in an earlier format (for example, a user opens an NVivo 11 project in NVivo 12 (Windows)), the user is prompted to convert the project to the later format. The original project is not modified; instead a converted copy of the project is created.
NVivo does not provide forward compatibility—the user cannot open a project with a later format. For example, if a user wants to open an NVivo 12 (Windows) project, they must have NVivo 12 (Windows), or later, installed.
For Mac: Compatibility with previous versions of NVivo for Mac
NVivo 12 (Mac) allows users to open and work with projects from earlier versions (10 and 11).
NVivo 12 (Mac) and NVivo for Mac (Version 11) can be installed on the same computer. However, the two versions of software cannot be run at the same time. If you no longer intend to use the earlier version, we recommend that you uninstall it before installing NVivo 12 (Mac).
NVivo for Mac provides backward compatibility. If a user with a later version of NVivo attempts to open a project produced by an earlier version—for example, a user opens an NVivo for Mac (Version 11) project in NVivo 12 (Mac)—the user is prompted to upgrade the project. The original project is not modified; instead a converted copy of the project is created.
NVivo does not provide forward compatibility. The user cannot open a project in an earlier version of the software. For example, if a user wants to open an NVivo 12 (Mac) project, they must have NVivo 12 (Mac) installed.
