MuPAD ... License Agreement & Fill-in Form


Dear MuPAD friend,

To acquire a MuPAD license, please fill-in the form below. The license agreement fixes some rules which allow us to have an overview over MuPAD's users and their interests. The fact that there is no license fee for workstation users in the scientific community is not touched by this license agreement.

After submitting the filled-in license agreement, you will get your personal license key via email. This may take up to four days. This license key should be used to register your personal MuPAD copy. With this, also all memory restrictions are unlocked.

We would like to draw your attention on some of our electronic mail addresses. Please use the email address MuPAD-bugs@uni-paderborn.de to report bugs which you detect in MuPAD. To discuss MuPAD topics the Usenet newsgroups sci.math.symbolic and de.sci.mathematik can be used.

We hope that MuPAD will be useful in your work and remain with best regards
