Free MAXQDA Analytics Pro
Are you planning a research methods course? Will you be teaching your students how to analyze qualitative data? Let us provide the software – with free MAXQDA course licenses!
We support research methods trainers with free course licenses for their students. Each student will receive a personal MAXQDA license (MAXQDA Analytics Pro) to use on their private computer for the duration of the course. They can use it to complete practice exercises and guided projects, giving them first-hand experience with MAXQDA and enabling them to develop valuable research skills.
Free Course License
Methods-focused courses
This license aims to support official courses focusing on qualitative methods (e.g. methods seminars, guided research projects). The course should be listed on your institution’s website, be free of charge, and be aimed specifically at students.
Full course duration
The duration of the license corresponds to that of the complete course (maximum 120 days).
Students at your institution
As a teacher, you can apply for a MAXQDA Course License on behalf of your students. This will provide them with a valuable opportunity to gain practical experience using qualitative data analysis software.
MAXQDA Analytics Pro
MAXQDA Analytics Pro includes all of MAXQDA’s features for qualitative and mixed methods research, as well as the Stats module, which adds a wide range of powerful statistical analysis tools.
AI Assist Free
The license includes the possibility to use AI Assist Free. Your students have to register a personal MAXQDA Account for this in MAXQDA.
License Conditions
Course participants
All students participating in your course can use the license. The license may not be used by teachers.
Private computers
Students may install the MAXQDA Course License on their personal Mac or Windows computer. MAXQDA is identical in both versions. Their computers do have to meet certain system requirements.
Scope of use
Students may use the license within the framework of their methods course, i.e. to complete practice exercises or guided research projects.
Final dissertations, theses or papers excluded
Students are not permitted to complete bachelor’s, master’s or diploma theses using the course license. For these purposes we recommend our student license.
No permanent use
Students can use the course license for 2 courses free of charge. If students would like to use MAXQDA beyond this, we recommend the discounted student license. We will be happy to advise you on our campus license so that your students can use MAXQDA throughout their studies.
Apply for the MAXQDA Course License
Please allow plenty of time before the start of your course to apply. Processing each application may take several days.
