MuPAD ... License for commercial users


INFORMATION

Dear MuPAD friend,

a detailed description of MuPAD you will find in our manuals also refer to our press releases. If you wish to acquire a MuPAD license, you should fill out the fill-in form of our license agreement appended 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 receiving back the signed license agreement you will get a keyword and you can copy the current MuPAD version for several platforms from our anonymous ftp server. That version is a demo version having all of MuPADs functionality but is restricted in its memory availability. The keyword you receive after submitting the license form unlocks this restriction.

We would like to draw your attention on some of our electronic mail addresses:

           MuPAD-bugs@uni-paderborn.de
Please use that email address for reporting bugs which you detect in MuPAD. The mailing list
           MuPAD-talk@uni-paderborn.de
is the informal MuPAD discussion group. There we distribute user contributions, bug reports, and information about our development and planning. As a licensed MuPAD user, you will be put automatically on the "talk" distribution list. Of course, on your explicit request we will remove you from that list.

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