Edition Information

Make sure you purchase the most appropriate version of NovaMind for your needs. Information about the different versions is below, and there is more information on the different feature sets at http://www.nova-mind.com/Features.

NovaMind Express

NovaMind Express is the lowest level of NovaMind, and contains all the things you need to get started Mind Mapping. It does not have all the advanced features of NovaMind Pro and Platinum, like multiple Mind Maps in a single file, detachable inspector palettes, presentation mode, screenwriting, project related information, and only has basic import and export capabilities.

NovaMind Pro

NovaMind Pro has many more features than Express, and is designed for the frequent Mind Map user, and is suitable for general business use. It has the ability to create multiple Mind Maps in a single document, hyperlinks and checkboxes on branches, more advanced imports and exports, detachable inspector palettes, and the ability to create your own reusable templates etc.

NovaMind Platinum

NovaMind Platinum is the top of the range Mind Mapping application, designed for serious business users, project planners, presenters, and screenwriters. It has all the features for project planning and task information recording, the complete presentation module for doing professional presentations, the screenwriting module for writing screenplays, and high resolution graphics libraries with up to 8 times the number of pixels, enabling you to create even more stunning Mind Maps.

License Types

Single user license

A Single User license allows a single user to use NovaMind. You may use this license for either a single computer where different people use NovaMind on that computer at different times, or for a single user who has several computers. You may not have more than one person using one single-user licence at any given time.

For single user licensing, each installation and user will require the entry of the license key. Free upgrades do not require re-entry of the license key as this information is saved under your user settings.

Multi-user license

When you purchase a license for multiple users, you still receive a single license key. You can enter that license key on as many computers as you require, so long as the maximum number of concurrent users does not exceed the number of users you have licenses for. 

Site license

A site license is the same as a multi-user license, but it doesn't have a limit on the number of people who can access it. Site licenses are valid for all the users at one physical site.

Windows and Mac

The same license keys are used for Windows and Mac, so if you have a single user license for instance, and you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, you will be able to use the same license in both places so long as you only use one copy of NovaMind simultaneously.
