OriginPro

We have a campus-wide site license to OriginPro that is available to all current students, faculty, and staff at Stanford.  OriginPro is produced for Windows but will work on a Mac using virtualization software.  It will not work with Linux.   Please see System Requirements, Running OriginPro on a Mac Using Virtualization Software, plus options for Stanford users to get VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop, two of the three virtualization software programs recommended by OriginLab for using OriginPro on a Mac.

• Existing users: request a license key to get one with the new expiration date. 
• New users: register to create an account and after confirming by email, login and request a license key.
