lexiCan is capable of handling large projects, in fact the program itself does not maintain a physical limit. Consequently, the maximum project size is more limited by the operating system under which lexiCan runs. If a NTFS files system (Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, Vista, and 7) is used, a drive can manage 4.294.967.295 files. For FAT32 file system (Windows 95/98) 65.534 files. Another limit to consider is the maximum storage capacity of the hard drive. Besides these limits lexiCan does not know limitations in the number of articles per project, number of projects and files associated or number of links. Some of our customers facilitate large projects with several thousand articles and several GB in size without problem. With increasing size the speed of lexiCan might be reduced in some aspects, such as for full text search or saving a new article. In such a situation users will still be able to split one project into smaller sub projects and regain performance.
