About MuPAD license
MuPAD is not public domain, but it is free devoted to the
scientific community and freely distributed for non-commercial use. The
MuPAD license
(fill-in form) allows us to
have an overview over MuPAD's users and their interests. The license is
free of charge!
MuPAD is available via anonymous FTP on serveral
ftp sites. Those versions are
limited in their memory access, so they cannot be used to solve real hard
problems. After sending your license agreement, you get a registration
code which unlocks all memory limitations.
Please also refer to the documents README
and FACTSHEET. ASCII versions of
both documents are also available via ftp.
After you received your license key from
MuPAD-distribution@uni-paderborn.de, simply start mupad
or xmupad and type:
register( "code_name", "code" );
where code_name
and code
are taken from the MuPAD license agreement. Users of MuPAD 1.2 can
use their former code_name and code.
On Macintosh systems you can also choose an registration menu entry
that is more comfortable.
