OriginPro License Assistance

If you use OriginPro please see their latest announcement regarding licensing.


The COVID-19 virus has caused significant disruption to our way of life. Many are now required to work or study from home.
To help our current users, we are providing a free temporary OriginPro license that can be installed on a registered Origin user’s Windows computer. To request a temporary license, you need to use your University email address. Users using other email domains must update their email address under their User profile before requesting the temporary license.

One user can get only one Product Key. The Product Key can only be used on one Windows computer.

The license will expire on May 20th, 2020.

Please see the OriginPro website for more information and to request a key

We shall shortly also be making a free 6-month OriginPro Student Learning Edition available. This will be for full time graduate or undergraduate students, for use only on their own PC and has a few technical restrictions*.


* For any given Origin Project, windows beyond the first n will not be accessible, but will be saved with the project
