Questions regarding use

Can I use lexiCan on a network?

Principally the option exists that you can put your lexiCan areas of knowledge onto a network. This will enable a considerable amount of employees to access, edit and read the content.

When a great amount of people are accessing and using the data it is possible in some instances that different parties make alterations and this can at present not be hindered. For this reason we offer as an additional component the lexiCan reader which includes all the features of the Pro Edition with one exception: Users of the lexiCan Reader are not able to make any changes within the program. This enables experts in your company to provide the other employees with the required information. The separation enables your experts to use the system and be able to make altercations and the others at the same access the information.

Does lexiCan work on a USB stick / drive?

In regards to the issue of USB sticks there are two possible cases that may arise:
1.) You have installed lexiCan on your home or work computer (one licence covers both) und you save your information on a USB stick. This is absolutely no problem as the USB stick is regarded as like any other drive and can be used by the program as it would normally do.
