How many seats the public list covers
Per-seat prices are public. For ten or more licenses, the NVivo product page says to contact Lumivero.
The same page states more than one cutoff. One section says teams of up to 10 people. The pricing answer says individual and small group licenses go up to nine, and that ten or more licenses go through sales. Another section says less than 9 individuals. Check with Lumivero for the seat cutoff on your order.
The student limit is also stated two ways. The product page says one student license per account. The shop catalog, seen 4 Oct 2026, set a maximum quantity of 2. Check both pages before you order a student seat.
