What should my installation look like, again?

Please see:   Installation instructions


I just upgraded to Mathematica 7. Which version of mathStatica do I need?

You need mathStatica 2 which provides perfect compatibility with Mathematica 7.

[ See: mathStatica compatibility table ]


Can I install a second copy of mathStatica on my portable / home computer?
Yes — if you have purchased a single-user license, we will support your use of mathStatica on both your work machine and also on your home/notebook computer that also has Mathematica installed on it (for the same user).

If, for some reason, your work and home machines have different Mathematica license numbers, please contact register@mathStatica.com with full details of both your Mathematica licenses so that we can issue you with an appropriate password.


Can I install mathStatica in a Network environment?

  • Single-user License
    Yes. If you have purchased a single-user license of mathStatica, even though you are running a Network/site license of Mathematica, we can fully support your use as a single user by issuing you with a MachineID password. This will enable mathStatica to work perfectly on your computer, without having to purchase a multi-user license. This is very common at universities which have site licenses for Mathematica.

  • Multi-user enviroment
    Yes. If you running a site or Network copy of Mathematica, and you are seeking a multi-machine mathStatica multi-user license to match same, we can support you with a mathStatica Network License.



I like mathStatica’s startup sound, but my cat does not. Can I remove it?

Yes — if you want to. If you are using mathStatica 2, go to your install directory, which is typically your ...

    $UserBaseDirectory / Applications   folder

... and there you will find the file:

   mathStatica.m
You should probably make a copy for yourself before making changes.
Simply open this file in Mathematica ... it is very short ... and the very first command is:

EmitSound[ blah blah blah]
You can just delete that completely ... and save the file. Then ... mathStatica will start without the sound.
