What a shame.MATLAB (an abbreviation of "MATrix LABoratory" ) is a proprietary multi-paradigm programming language and numeric computing environment developed by MathWorks. If Wolfram and their pricing policies were a little bit saner they will see much more success because the system is absolutely fantastic. After spending close to €1000 on subscriptions and then another €500 on the perpetual licenses I’m finally thinking of moving away from Mathematica. I was an annual subscriber for three years before I decided to buy a perpetual license to avoid having to pay an annual fee, but at this point there is no difference anymore. What’s the point of having a so-called perpetual license if I need to keep upgrading it every year anyways?įor someone who is only using the program once or twice a year as a hobbyist, it doesn’t make sense anymore. There’s an update for the operating system every year, it’s guaranteed. With Catalina and the restriction on 32 bit apps I kind of understood that an update might be absolutely necessary, but I do not understand this with macOS Big Sur. None of my other programs require an upgrade for every OS update. Now less than a year later once again I need to upgrade just to keep it working on macOS Big Sur. I begrudgingly upgraded even though I required none of the new features. The “perpetual” license required a paid upgrade just to continue working. I purchased a perpetual license to Mathematica home edition in 2018, but a few months later it stopped working with the introduction of macOS Catalina. macOS Big Sur is about to be released and I just received an email saying mathematica will stop working after I install it. Hi all, I think most Mathematica users have access to it through their company or university, and individual hobbyist users must be in the minority.
