  • Per https://en.smath.com/view/SMathStudio/license; "SMath Studio is free for private use. The capabilities of the program and its scope of application can be expanded by purchasing additional services associated with a personal account;"
  • per the EULA (english) installed/accepted via the actual install:, "SMath Studio is free for private use. The capabilities of the program and its scope of application can be expanded by purchasing additional services associated with a personal account;".


If we want to use SMath for commercial purposes, we are left with the dilemma that the actual EULA only mentions private use (and infers commercial/educational uses might not be authorized). It would be nice if commercial use, and the limitations thereof, are included in the EULA.

Yours Sincerely,
-Kenny Lemens, P.E.

Do you change your decision in the New version 1.0?

Best regards

Hello.
For non-russian users nothing changed.
Russian license a bit changed to face that program is free for private use only. For others program can be used for free for any purposes, including commercial - as it always was.

Best regards.


Hi Andrey, thanks for letting me use this wonderful software for many years...
I just read all the discussions in here, but I found the comments in the pricing & License is not the same:

This may lead misunderstanding if someone only check the License page...

What I do assume is that in each of these installations you need to log in so as not to violate the conditions of your purchase, free but with registration needed.

That is, if you use it without logging in, you can still use it for personal, but not for commercial purposes.

Best regards.

I think it's not, when we log in the details show private use... Where I work, I had problems because of the license agreement. The IT department demanded that I remove Smath Studio.

For now, the only solution is still using any version before 7822.

Hi Hildebrando. I see, you're right.

Hello Andrey,

Could you please shed some light on this? There is another topic as well on this: https://en.smath.com/for...23565_PDF-watermark.aspx
I experienced as well that I often have to login again to get rid of the watermark. Sometimes, it shows my name in green as if I am logged in and the watermark still persists. In this case, rebooting temporarily fixes the problem.

Is this a bug or do you intend to limit the free use of SMath for commercial purposes outside Russia? I can respect either answer, but some clarity would be helpful to help us make motivated decisions on the use of SMath in the future.

Best regards,

PLEASE make the Modeller Region plugin available for free immediately! Either that or make it so that if a person installed some plugin(s) before the license changed, they can keep updating/using them without needing a subscription. Better yet, make all plugins free again, and offer a perpetual license option so that people only have to pay once for the license. Some people can't afford subscriptions. I hate it that I can't update/use certain plugins without upgrading. Mad

Have you tried offline installation?
https://wiki.smath.com/en-US/Plugins

Most plugins are still free to use/update. They just don't auto update through the app without a paid license.

I tried the offline installation steps to update, and when I tried to download the zip files, I got a 402 Payment Required error (same thing happened when I tried to download them via wget). Can someone please tell me how to update them for free? The plugins I'm trying to download are Modeller Region and XMCD Files Plugin, and I want to update them without upgrading my account! Please make them free for all users immediately! I believe that every last plugin should be available for free to every single user, whether they have a free or paid plan, and that auto-updates of said plugins should also be available for free users. Also, I can't get the Script Region plugin to work: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002).

Also, why can't I create polls? Is that the norm for users around here?
