Thank you for purchasing NMath. The NMath library contains foundational classes for object-oriented numerics on the .NET platform. NMath is part of CenterSpace Software's NMath Suite of numerical libraries.
Licensing
NMath is licensed per developer seat. Each developer writing code using an NMath library requires a license. (For example, if 5 developers are writing an application, and only 3 are doing most of the intense math work, all 5 must have a license.) There are no runtime or deployment fees for products developed that make use of CenterSpace libraries. The complete NMath license agreement is installed in
<installdir>/license.txt
NMath license information is stored in a license key which must be found at runtime. The license key governs the properties of your NMath installation. If no license key is found, a default evaluation license key is used which provides a free 30-day evaluation period for NMath on the current machine.
When you purchase one or more developer seats of NMath, you will be issued a license key describing the terms of your license. To enter your license key:
- Open CenterSpace Software | License NMath from your Start menu.
- Enter your name, email, and license key, and click OK.
The license key will be written to the registry.
You can also specify your license key using various other mechanisms: by environment variable, by configuration app setting, and programmatically. These mechanisms may be preferable in group development environments, and at deployment. (See here for more information.)

Charting
NMath can be easily combined with the free Microsoft Chart Controls for .NET to create a complete data analysis and visualization solution. The Microsoft Chart Controls for .NET are available as a separate download for .NET 3.5. Beginning in .NET 4.0, the Chart controls are part of the .NET Framework. For more information, see the CenterSpace whitepaper "NMath Visualization Using the Microsoft Chart Controls" in <installdir>/Docs.
