We have important news to share!

The UC San Diego GraphPad agreement has been renewed for one year, and licenses purchased under the agreement will expire on March 13, 2027.

The available licensing options for GraphPad subscriptions are as follows:

Named-user licenses that require an email login for activation—no serial numbers needed!
Machine Access Tokens allow you to assign a license to a physical computer rather than a specific user, making them ideal for shared lab computers.

GraphPad Prism named-user licenses are intended for personal use by a single individual to install and activate the software on up to two computers (such as a work and a home computer), provided the individual is the sole user of both devices. GraphPad's policy for personal/named-user subscriptions explicitly states they may not be installed on shared computers. You will need to purchase a "Machine Access Token" license for that computer.
