If you have access to a memoQ server, you can use LiveDocs corpora from that server even in a local project.

At the top of the memoQ server section, there is a drop-down box where you can choose the server. Normally, it shows My Computer. This means that you are looking at resources from your own computer.

To connect to a memoQ server: Type or paste the address of the server in the box. Or, if you have used that server before, choose it from the drop-down list. After you enter or choose the server address, click the Select button. You may need to log in to the memoQ server.

After you select a memoQ server, the list of LiveDocs corpora will include the corpora from your computer and from the server.

Server Administrator: Opens the Server administrator window where you can manage a memoQ server. This requires the project manager edition of memoQ, and you must be an administrator or a project manager on that server.

Manage Logins: Shows the memoQ servers you are connected to. You can also remove a connection. Do that if you no longer have access to a server, or you need to log in to it with a different user name and password. Opens the Manage logins window.
