What are the eligibility requirements?

Qualified students, instructors, and academic researchers must be enrolled at, or an employee of, a degree-granting institution to get access and use JMP Student Edition.

Accepted use includes course use by instructors and students, as well as research projects related to degree requirements. Academic researcher use is limited to research that will be published in a journal, presented at an academic conference, or shared for the public good.   

The creation of a free MyJMP account is essential to access the software, get new versions, and renew the license. Using an academic email address is recommended to streamline verification. 

Please note that JMP Student Edition is renewable every 12 months at no cost, provided the user remains qualified as an academic user and can verify eligibility.  

What are the system requirements?

JMP Student Edition is locally installed on Windows and Macintosh computers and based on the current version of JMP software. A full list of supported operating systems is available in our system requirements (Windows and macOS).

How do I get and install JMP Student Edition?

Go to jmp.com/student, select Get JMP for Free, and complete the four steps listed on the following page. Detailed steps for downloading and installing JMP Student Edition are available at jmp.com/getse.

Can JMP Student Edition be deployed in computer labs?

Yes.

Please note that each JMP Student Edition user must have a registered MyJMP account before accessing the software in the lab. A MyJMP account is automatically setup in the JMP Student Edition download and installation process at jmp.com/student. It is recommended that students set up their accounts near the start of the academic term.

To deploy JMP Student Edition in computer labs:
 

1. Obtain installation files.

The IT manager downloads the JMP Student Edition installers for Windows and Macintosh. The creation of a free MyJMP profile is required.

2. Install software on lab computers.

  • Individual installation: The IT manager installs JMP Student Edition on each lab PC.
  • Image deployment: If using an image, the IT manager creates a base image with JMP Student Edition installed and deploys it to all lab PCs.

3. Confirm licenses and authorizations prior to the beginning of the course.

Ensure that all users have obtained a JMP Student Edition license and have the necessary authorization to use the software.

4. Launch the software.

During the course, users launch JMP Student Edition on their assigned lab PCs. For login, the software prompts for an authorized email address. Students enter the email address used to obtain their license, receive a validation code, and enter the code in JMP. The software will start running, and users can begin their work.

5. Determine whether a post-course uninstall is needed.

  • Uninstall or leave: The software can be uninstalled from the lab PCs or remain installed for future use.
  • Future usage: If left installed, future users will need to have an authorized email address to run the software.

Reminder for home use: After obtaining authorization, students can install JMP Student Edition on their personal computers. Students can then use the software at home to complete assignments and projects.
