Scientific Word 6.1 for Windows is now available for FREE A link to it and some installation programs is available HERE . In time, the source will be posted on Github. MacKichan Software, Inc. has gone out of business Sales have ceased for Scientific WorkPlace, Scientific Word, and Scientific Notebook MacKichan Software, Inc., after providing word processing software for those who speak the language of mathematics for forty years (under several names), closed its doors on June 30, 2021. This marks the end of sales and support for the MacKichan Software products. All owners of Scientific WorkPlace , Scientific Word , or Scientific Notebook should have a serial number that was included in their purchase. This number is also included in the license file for your installation as the last line in the file. If you need to install your software on a new or different computer, you will need to re-activate the software on that computer using that serial number. The software can be activated as before, using the Help/Activate menu item. This contacts the MacKichan Software licensing server, which we will keep running for at least two years. Thirty-day trials of all of our products are discontinued. Trial serial numbers will no longer work to activate the software. Sites with permanent site licenses will, of course, be free to use Scientific WorkPlace , Scientific Word , and/or Scientific Notebook as long as they like. Those sites that have paid for maintenance with home-use satellite licenses can continue, but will be unable to create new satellite licenses after their maintenance agreement expires. We expect to make Scientific Word an open source product eventually. Since both Scientific WorkPlace and Scientific Notebook contain the proprietary computer algebra system MuPAD, they cannot be made open source. When the open source project for Scientific Word is established, an announcement will be made here. We hope to make version 5.5 of Scientific Word available in the future. It currently contains several components that are licensed and not owned by MacKichan Software. These components need to be removed, and our intention is then to make Scientific Word version 5.5 open source. Barry MacKichan President MacKichan Software, Inc.
