Downloading and Installing Concordance
LexisNexis offers an evaluation (trial) version of Concordance. This trial is the same software as the full
version, except it has a 30-day limit. The trial version of Concordance is installed on one workstation and
by default will be installed on your C drive. The installation process is similar to the full version but the
serial and activation code are not required.
When you purchase Concordance, you will receive a serial number and activation code, which you can then
convert the trial version to the full version (extend beyond 30 days). Follow this link for further download
and installation information: Install the Trial Version of Concordance and then click on the link: To install
the evaluation version of Concordance Server
Concordance® Native Viewer and Concordance® Image
When using Concordance® you have two different options for viewing either images or documents.
Option 1: Concordance Native Viewer is a native document viewer that works with Concordance.
This new viewer provides seamless navigation by enabling the viewing of documents in their
original format to obtain better contextual understanding of the document and allows redactions
against the view of the native document.
Do you manage cases with a large volume of discovery documents? Would you like to review and
redact documents in near-native format? Do you need color productions or PDF support? If so,
Concordance Native Viewer may be the best choice for you.
Option 2: Concordance Image
Do you automatically generate tagged image file format (TIFF) images as part of your normal
discovery workflow? If so, Concordance Image can likely meet the majority of your needs.
Downloading and Installing Concordance Native Viewer
Before installing Concordance Native Viewer, please contact your discovery services representative for a
serial number and activation code. You will then be emailed a serial number and activation code from LNGfulfillment. You may follow this link for further download and installation information: Install the Trial
