Installing Maple 6

See: MapleLicenseFileInstallationInstructions.htm  for how to update the license files
 

If your machine is always connected on campus to the network, you want to install the "server/network" version.

The following instructions are using a network license server.

If you reqiure a standalone version without a network connection, FlexLM must be installed... see me for further help.

License file:
license.dat
(Right click and select save)
 

Linux Installation (requires network connection to license server):

• login as root
• insert cdrom
• mount /mnt/cdrom
• cd /mnt/cdrom/unix
• ./install
• choose default install location of /usr/local/maple
• answer yes to the type of binaries you need installed (probably yes for Red Hat Linux, no for the remainder)
• put the license file above in /usr/local/maple/license/license.dat
• Start maple with /usr/local/maple/bin/maple or /usr/local/maple/bin/xmaple

Windows Installation (requires network connection to license server):

• insert cdrom
• open cdrom and go to /windows/singleuser/
• run setup in that directory
• choose single user profile
• put the license file above in c:/Program Files/Maple/License/license.dat

Readme from Maple:

To help you get started in applying Maple 6 to your discipline, check out the Maple Application Center on the Waterloo Maple Web Site (http://www.maplesoft.com/apps/index.html). You'll find hundreds of Maple worksheets that show how Maple is used in a wide range of technical
disciplines.

For the Macintosh Maple Server, place "license.dat" in the license directory.

For all other platforms, use the following instructions.

Instructions For Activating Maple 6 Network Licenses:
1. Save the attached license file as a text file called "network.lic".
2. Place "network.lic" in the FLEXlm folder where the FLEXlm license manager daemons have been copied. (Typically, this will be the FLEXlm directory in
the Maple directory on the Server copy of Maple 6.)

NB: DO NOT overwrite the "license.dat" file in the license directory; both files are required for Maple 6 to run correctly. Further details are available
in the README file for Maple 6.
 

Prior to installation, please check our corporate website at
http://www.maplesoft.com/support/downloads to ensure that you have the most
current FLEXlm daemons and Maple Service Packs.

If you encounter problems installing either Maple 6 or the License File,
please contact your local reseller or Waterloo Maple's Technical Support
department at mailto:support@maplesoft.com.
