We will have an automated transfer, or sync, of all non-expired content once a customer downloads the new Lexis Red^® app on any compatible device. This sync is an automated one-time only transfer of highlights and annotations to Lexis Red^®, and will include the transfer of your own work.

Note – No further transfers will occur beyond this one-time only automated sync.

Note – The choice to transfer to the new version of Lexis Red^® is on a per user, no per customer, basis.

If you are unable to download the installation files, it could be due to a network firewall or network proxy blocking the download. Some networks prevent the download of software installation files to prevent the spread of malware. Please contact your IT department to verify if this is the reason for being unable to download the software.

Please contact your Relationship Manager or Customer Support on 1800 772 772 or customersupport@lexisnexis.com.au to purchase digitally-available content.

The application is designed to be accessible both online and offline. However, you will need access to the internet for the following functions:

1. To download or upgrade the application
2. Initial login/download of the content purchased
3. For content updates
4. For annotations to be synced to our server (the Cloud) and between your devices

Yes, you can sync between your devices.

Syncing between the devices will only occur if you are using the same version of the app. Thus, LexisNexis Red (the old version of the app) will not sync with Lexis Red^® (the new version of the app).

Note: If the Admin/Librarian/Knowledge manager (or Lexis Red^® user) tries to log into the new Digital Library System before they have logged into the new version of the Lexis Red^® app, the login will not be successful. Thus, the Admin/Librarian/Knowledge Manager must first log in to the new version of the Lexis Red^® app before they can log in to the new Digital Library System.

Once the Admin/Librarian/Knowledge Manager has logged into the new digital library, they will see all titles for their customer account. In terms of the users, however, only users that have downloaded the new version of the Lexis Red^® app will appear in the new Digital Library System.

For your reference, the old LexisNexis Digital Library URL is: http://red.lexisnexis.com.au/digital-library/Pages/Account/Login.aspx.

Your firm must have a loan subscription account type and at least one Lexis Red^® subscription to the title you wish to borrow.

You can request the title by clicking on the 'Request' button. This will send a notification to your firm’s Knowledge Manager. Your firm’s Knowledge Manager can then assign the title to you once it has been returned.
