Possible to use Maple without buying it?
I bought all of my calculus books second hand and it came with the maple software however the license key was already used. The guy told me I could download it from DC++ which I did but it still requires a license key..
Is there a way to use Maple from my laptop without paying for it? I realize I can also just go to the library but it'd be much more convenient if I had it on my laptop.

must be on one of the servers. If you only know ssh. Also, you can use cooler programs like matlab or octave.

You can replace the licence file (licence.dat) as a work around. If you already have the disc just use that install and when downloading the torrent just download the licence file to save some bandwidth. Not that I would know anything about pirating software...

I like how this thread got less and less subtle with time.
