Information:
Die Lizenzverlängerung ist abgeschlossen und steht nunmehr zum Kauf für Mitarbeiter zur Verfügung. Studierendenlizenzen werden im Citavi-Portal erscheinen, sobald diese verfügbar sind. Aufgrund technischer Schwierigkeiten auf der Seite des Herstellers wurden alle Accounts nunmehr bis zum 30.04.2023 verlängert. Die endgültige Verlängerungsoption für Studierende wird schnellstmöglich nachgereicht. Sie werden darüber von Citavi per Mail informiert.
Sollte Ihr Account nicht automatisch verlängert worden sein, melden Sie sich bitte bei uns.
Aktuell ist es noch nicht möglich, neue Accounts anzulegen. Dies ist den technischen Problemen aufseiten des Herstellers geschuldet.
