Lexis Red^®

Lexis Red is an application which enables you to access legal content digitally. Content can be downloaded to a chosen device - iPad, Android (tablet), Windows (tablet, desktop and laptop) and Mac (laptop and desktop). Your looseleaf is then automatically updated via a content delivery system when you are online.

The most recent version of the Lexis Red application (version 3.3) can be downloaded and accessed on Windows or Mac desktops/laptops or a compatible tablet device (please note the minimum requirements: iPad iOS 8+, Android 4.4+, Windows 8.1+ and macOS 10.10 and 10.11).

Please note that the content is only accessible from two devices. Lexis Red is incompatible with smart phones.

If you are running Windows 7 operating system on your device you will need to download a different version of Lexis Red – version 3.2. This is available to download on the downloads page.

We will continue to provide maintenance and support (bug fixes) for the Windows 7 Lexis Red app version, but will cease the development of new features for this operating system. For optimum functionality, we recommend that our customers migrate to other operating systems (iPad iOS 8+, Android 4.4+, Windows 8.1+ and macOS 10.10 and 10.11).

From March 2018, version 3.13 of Lexis Red is the current version of the Lexis Red application.

You can download the Lexis Red application for Windows or Mac desktops/laptops or a compatible tablet device (iPad iOS 8+, Android 4.4+, Windows 8.1+ and macOS 10.10 and 10.11) free of charge.

If you are running Windows 7 operating system on your device you will need to download a separate version of Lexis Red – version 3.2. This is available to download on the downloads page.

Lexis Red can be run on devices with a Windows 7 operating system. However, you will need to download a separate version of Lexis Red – version 3.2. This is available to download on the downloads page.

We will continue to provide maintenance and support (bug fixes) for the Windows 7 Lexis Red app version, but will cease the development of new features for this operating system.

Some of the features available on Lexis Red include increasing and decreasing the font size, emailing or printing content, highlighting the text and adding and editing annotations.

For full information on how to use these features on different devices, as well as logging in and how to download and update publications, please see the Product User Guides which can be found here.

The User Guide will provide you with all the relevant information required to ensure you are able to effectively utilise the features available on Lexis Red™.

Note: Please ensure you are connected to the internet whilst downloading and obtaining updates to a publication.

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. Therefore, once you have downloaded the new version of the application we recommend that you delete the previous version.

Note – The choice to transfer to the new version of Lexis Red is on a per user, not per customer, basis. Each user must download the new version of the application onto their own device.

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.

If you require further assistance, please contact Customer Support at: customersupport@lexisnexis.co.nz

If you require assistance in installing the application, please contact Customer Support at: customersupport@lexisnexis.co.nz

Please contact your Relationship Manager or Customer Support on 0800 800 986 or customersupport@lexisnexis.co.nz 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). Therefore, we recommend you download the new version of the application on any device you wish to use to access Lexis Red.
