QDPX File Standard

The QDPX file format is the REFI-QDA standard for exporting and importing qualitative data projects across QDA software products.  It is limited in that it only contains features that are common to all software that supports it.  It doesn't support audio/video, datasets or pdfs.
The link below provides general information about the format:

NVivo QDPX Files

Since NVivo software provides backward compatibility only (ie. newer project files can't be opened in older versions), exchanging .qdpx files between NVivo versions can be an alternative, depending on the data in the project.

If the project contains audio/video, datasets or pdfs, all members of the project team need to be on the same version of the software. (NOTE:  If you need to continue using the older software for other projects, more than one version can be installed on the same computer.)

If upgrading or purchasing the latest version is a viable option, we are manage NVivo purchases through the MyNVivo customer portal.  You can create a user profile for the portal from this My.Lumivero.com Page


Once you have created your profile and verified your email, you can purchase a new license for NVivo or an upgrade by logging into the portal and clicking on the shopping cart on the top right of the MyLumivero Home Page.
