Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5sr6
Operating System: winXP/suse 10.1 via crossover office (works ok, but not perfect).
Hi everyone,
My student version of origin is just about to expire and I was wondering if it was worth waiting a little bit before renewing my license. Is a new version just around the corner? If not, will we be able to upgrade when it does come around?
Thanks!
P.S. I know that you origin folk have said many times that a Linux version was not coming any time soon, however I'd just like to prod you once again... There just isn't anything comparable to Origin on Linux (that I know of), and since a lot of the scientific community uses some sort 'nix, it just seems that there would be quite a lot of demand for a Linux version. I think that Linux+Origin would be awesome!

Thanks for posting about this issue.
The next version of Origin, version 8, is not due out till later next year. So I suggest not waiting for this version.
The Student Version is a very low cost product provided only to students. Because of the low cost, its license file is time limited, and it is not upgradable to the next version.
For all 7.5 Student Version users ...
When your Student Version approaches its expiration date, if you want to keep using the Student Version, then you need to purchase the Student Version again, such as from OriginLab's online store.
Since the Student Version is still version 7.5, that is what you will be re-purchasing. You will, however, be issued a new serial number for the new purchase, along with instructions on how to update your existing Origin Student Version installation with the new serial number.

Hi there
My student version will expire very soon. However, I cannot renew it as the suppliers are advised that Origin Student is now only available for sale in the US and Canada. I'm in NZ. Is there any ways I can continue using OriginPro 7.5 student version? I desperately need to use it for my analysis
Thank you |
