Create .mex file from MAXQDA 20

11.05.2020, 16:40

Hello,
I recently switched to MAXQDA 20 for use on an ongoing project, but a colleague of mine was unable to and is still using MAXQDA 12. Is there a way to save my project as a .mex file that he could open, as a temporary solution while he upgrades his license?
I saw on the FAQ page that MAXQDA 18 is able to save to a .mex that can then be opened with MAXQDA 12, maybe there is someone out there who could help me out with this?
Any help appreciated

Version: MAXQDA 2020
System: Windows 10

Hello shollowell,

To open .mx20 files with MAXQDA 12, you have to open the file with MAXQDA 2018 first. You can easily do so by the following steps:
1. Please open the file in MAXQDA 2020 and save the file as .mx18 via "Home - Save project as"
2. Open the .mx18 file with the free MAXQDA 2018 Reader you can download here:

3. Create a .mex file with the MAXQDA 2018 Reader via "Home - Export Exchange File"
4. Open the created .mex file with MAXQDA 2012

We hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Maren
