UNIX Network Licensing
Select one of the following licensing schemes.
Start the License Manager Daemons
Before you can use Maple 10, you must start the license server. It is recommended that you do not run lmgrd as root because any process run by root is a potential security risk.
1. Navigate to the location of the FLEXlm utilities for your operating system. By default,
/usr/local/maple10/FLEXlm/UNIX/$PLATFORM where $PLATFORM corresponds to the operating system running the license manager.
2. Start the license manger daemons.
Using the C Shell
On 64-bit Linux platforms, you must enter the following command before starting the license manager daemon:
setenv LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.4.1
To start the license manager daemon (lmgrd), enter the following command at the prompt:
lmgrd -c license_file_path -l debug_log &
where license_file_path is the full path and filename of the network license file (by default, /usr/local/maple/license/maple10.lic); and debug_log is the name of a file to which debugging information is written. The -l option (letter l, not the number 1 (one)) creates the file.
Using the Korn or Bourne Shell
On 64-bit Linux platforms, you must enter the following command before starting the license manager daemon:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
To start the license manager daemon (lmgrd), enter the following command at the prompt:
nohup lmgrd -c license_file_path -l debug_log 2>&1 &
To have the daemons run on startup, edit the appropriate boot script (such as /etc/rc.boot, /etc/rc.local, or /etc/rc2.d/Sxxxx). For example, if you run lmgrd as a boot startup script, you can run it as a regular user by using the following su command at the prompt:
su username -c 'umask 022; path/lmgrd -c license_file_path -l path/log'
where username is a non-privileged user; path is the correct path to lmgrd, license_file_path is the network license file, and log is the debug log file. It is recommended that the network license file be called maple10.lic.
Help For Starting License Server
If you have any problems starting the license server in the UNIX system bootup files, refer to http://www.macrovision.com.
To run previous releases of Maple as well as Maple 10, place all Maple license files in the same directory. If you have other FLEXlm license files stored in one central location, you can store the Maple license files there as well. Note: This does not apply to releases prior to Maple 6.
Complete the following tasks.
Task 1: Stop the License Manager
Go to the location of the FLEXlm utilities that are currently being used. For Maple 9.5, the default location is /usr/local/maple9.5/FLEXlm/UNIX/$PLATFORM where $PLATFORM corresponds to the operating system running the license manager.
Enter the command
./lmdown
Task 2: Move all Maple License Files to a Common Directory
Copy all the Maple network license files to the license folder of your Maple 10 installation, by default, /usr/local/maple10/license.
Task 3: Start the License Manager Daemons
On 64-bit Linux platforms, you must enter the following command before starting the license manager daemon:
Using the C shell: setenv LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.4.1
Using the Korn or Bourne shell: export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
Navigate to the location of the FLEXlm utilities for your operating system. By default, /usr/local/maple10/FLEXlm/UNIX/$PLATFORM where $PLATFORM corresponds to the operating system running the license manager.
When starting license manager daemons, you must enter the path to the directory containing all license files. By default /usr/local/maple10/license.
Note: Point to the directory only, not an actual license file.
To start the license manager, enter the following command:
./lmgrd -c /license_file_path -l /debug_log
where license_file_path is the full path to the directory containing the license files.
You can now use both Maple 10 and previous releases of Maple.

How to Start Maple
Maple 10 provides users with two worksheet interfaces (graphical user interfaces) and a command-line (text-based) interface. By default, worksheets open in the enhanced and more modern Standard Worksheet. The Classic Worksheet, available on Windows and some UNIX platforms, has the traditional Maple worksheet look and uses less memory. In Windows, you can change the Maple worksheet file association using the Worksheet File Association Selector application from the Tools folder of the Maple 10 Start menu.
If your system has less than the recommended amount of physical memory, it is suggested that you use the Classic Worksheet version of Maple 10.
Standard Worksheet Maple
You can start Standard Worksheet Maple in either Document mode or Worksheet mode. Use the one best suited to your needs.
Document mode allows you to start solving problems right away, without needing syntax or Maple commands. You can freely combine text and math to produce presentation-quality mathematical documents.
Worksheet mode is most familiar to users of previous versions of Maple. Enter commands on an input prompt to get results and you can still format your worksheets into presentation-quality documents using all of the new features of Maple 10.
Windows
To start Standard Worksheet Maple 10 in Windows:
Double-click the Maple 10 shortcut icon from the desktop, if available, or select the Maple 10 program from the Start menu. (If you installed Maple in the default location, from the Start menu, select Programs, Maple 10, then Maple 10.)
Macintosh
To start Standard Worksheet Maple 10 on a Macintosh:
Double-click the Maple 10 icon in the Application folder.
UNIX or Linux
The Standard Worksheet is available on Linux (32- and 64-bit versions), Sun™ Solaris™, IBM® AIX®, and HP®-UX.
To start Standard Worksheet Maple 10 in UNIX:
Modify your command search path to contain your Maple 10 directory (for example, /usr/local/maple/bin) and execute xmaple or execute the full path (for example, /usr/local/maple/bin/xmaple).
Classic Worksheet Maple
Windows
To start Classic Worksheet Maple 10 in Windows:
Double-click the Classic Worksheet Maple 10 shortcut icon from the desktop, if available, or select the Classic Worksheet Maple 10 program from the Start menu. (If you installed Maple in the default location, from the Start menu, select Programs, Maple 10, then Classic Worksheet Maple 10.)
UNIX or Linux
The Classic Worksheet is available on most UNIX versions (not available on 64-bit Linux versions). A command-line flag is required to start the Classic Worksheet on UNIX versions.
To start Classic Worksheet Maple 10 on UNIX or Linux machines:
Modify your command search path to contain your Maple 10 directory (for example, /usr/local/maple/bin) and execute maple -cw or execute the full path (for example, /usr/local/maple/bin/maple -cw).
The Command-line version of Maple has a text-based user interface. While allowing complete access to the mathematical engine, the Command-line version of Maple requires less system resources. For more information, refer to the Command-line Maple section of the readme.txt file located in your Maple folder.
Shared Kernel Mode
In the Standard Worksheet interface, all worksheets have independent kernels, that is, definitions and packages available in one worksheet are not available in other worksheets in that Maple session. The Shared Kernel version of Maple allows all worksheets to share the definitions.
To start Maple 10 for Windows in Shared Kernel mode:
If you installed Maple in the default location, from the Start menu, select Programs, Maple 10, then Shared Server Maple 10.
Alternatively, you can change this setting from the Options screen of the Tools menu item. This setting will take place the next time you start Maple.
To start Maple 10 for UNIX or Linux in Shared Kernel mode:
Modify your command search path to contain your Maple 10 directory (for example, /usr/local/maple/bin) and execute xmaple –km s or the full path (for example, /usr/local/maple/bin/xmaple –km s).
Alternatively, you can change this setting from the Options screen of the Tools menu item. This setting will take place the next time you start Maple.
To start Maple 10 for Macintosh in Shared Kernel mode:
Change this setting from the Options screen of the Tools menu item. This setting will take place the next time you start Maple.
For more information, refer to ?worksheet/managing/configuring in the Help System.
Excel Add-in
On Windows, Maple 10 has an add-in to Microsoft Excel 2003, 2000, and Excel XP. For more information, refer to the ?Excel help page in the Maple Help system.
Maple Calculator
On Windows, Maple 10 has a convenient graphing calculator interface.
To start the Maple Calculator:
Double-click the Maple Calculator shortcut icon from the desktop, if available, or select the Maple Calculator program from the Start menu. (If you installed Maple in the default location, from the Start menu, select Programs, Maple 10, and then Maple Calculator.)
Manuals
You can access the Getting Started Guide and User Manual the Help menu in the Standard Worksheet interface. Select Help>Manuals, Dictionary, and more>Manuals.
Return to Top of the Document.
You can configure Maple to operate in a way that best suits your environment.
How to Change the User Mode or Directory
In Windows, you can run Maple in one of two user profile modes.
Use Single User Mode when only one person is using Maple.
Use Multiple User Mode if more than one person is using a single copy of Maple. Multiple User Mode enables all licensed users to log in and run Maple using their own default settings.
How to Change the Working Directory
In the Windows version of Maple, you can change the working directory by creating a shortcut to Maple 10 and assigning it a different directory.
To change the working directory, follow these instructions.
Create a new shortcut for Maple.
Right-click the shortcut icon and select Properties.
Change the Start in field. (For Windows NT, click the Shortcut tab to locate the Start in field.) The directory listed in the Start in field is the working directory when you start Maple using the shortcut key.
At start up, Maple searches the current working directory for a custom initialization file. It stops searching when it finds the file. For more information, see How to Execute Commands Automatically.
How to change launch options for Standard Interface on Windows
The Standard Worksheet interface reads the ini file bin.win/launch.ini, if present. The directives recognized are as follows (# is allowed to specify a comment).
# set maximum Java heap size
maxheap=700m
# additional args to pass to Java
java_args=-Dfoo -Dbar
# additional args to pass to Maple
maple_args=-q
# popup dialog showing the startup command (for debugging)
showcmd=true
# enable the Java access bridge (accessibility)
jaccess=true
# disable directX
java2d_nodraw=true
# set default language
language=Fr
# set default browser
browser="c:/Netscape"
Note: Optimal values are used in the launcher.
How to Execute Commands Automatically
You can configure Maple to automatically execute a series of commands on start up. This approach is especially useful for setting global variables, such as Digits and Order. To do this, create a Maple initialization file. For more information, refer to ?worksheet/reference/initialization in the Maple Help System.
How to Enable the MATLAB Link
MATLAB® is an interactive programming language for general scientific and technical computation. If you have installed MATLAB 6.5 or 7.0, you can enable a link between it and Maple for Windows, Macintosh, and most UNIX or Linux platforms. For more information, refer to ?Matlab/setup in the Maple Help System.
Return to Top of the Document.
Maple 10 includes the OpenWatcom C compiler. This compiler is used for the Maple compiler feature, which allows you to compile some types of user-written Maple routines to speed up the performance of your code.
To use this feature, you must install the OpenWatcom C compiler when you install Maple 10. The OpenWatcom compiler requires that it be installed in a location whose name contains no spaces (the default is C:\watcom-1.3). During installation, you will have the opportunity to change this default location.
To remove the OpenWatcom C compiler after installation, follow these steps.
Delete the directory in which Watcom was installed.
Delete the WATCOM environment variable.
(Optional) Delete the Watcom paths from INCLUDE environment variable.
(Optional) Delete the Watcom paths from PATH environment variable.
Before installing Maple 10, ensure that your computer fulfills the minimum system requirements for your operating system.

Issue:
Starting the Maple license server on Solaris® 9 machine and receiving a FLEXlm error of -16,287. Debug log contains the following:
(maplelmg) Vendor daemon can't talk to lmgrd
(Cannot read data from license server (-16,287:22 "Invalid argument"))
(lmgrd) Vendor daemon died with status 39
Resolution:
This is a known file descriptor problem with FLEXlm and the Solaris operating system. To workaround this problem, you must create and execute the following script:
#!/bin/sh
ulimit -n 1024
ulimit -H -n 1024
lmgrd [...]
where [...] represents the arguments you use with lmgrd (e.g. lmgrd -c maple8.lic -l debug.log). This resets the file descriptor limit for lmgrd, which resolves the problem.
Issue:
Starting Standard Maple on Windows computer and dialog displays "connecting..." and then another message indicates that firewall is conflicting with Maple.
Resolution:
This is likely due to an interaction between Maple and a personal firewall installed on the same machine. The firewall can interfere with establishing an internal network connection on the local computer. The connection required is to "localhost" on the computer and not a connection to an external source.
This problem occurs also with single user installations of Maple. Configure your firewall to grant full permissions to the following Maple files:
..\Maple 10\jre\bin\maple.exe
..\Maple 10\bin.win\mserver.exe
..\Maple 10\bin.win\cwmaple.exe
..\Maple 10\bin.win\cmaple.exe
Consult your firewall software documentation for details.
Issue:
Maple 10 is installed without problems on a Windows computer that has more than 1 GB of memory, but the Standard worksheet will not start. Maple 10 splash screen appears but program does not launch.
Resolution:
When Maple starts, it sets the maximum amount of memory Java may potentially use based on the amount of physical memory in the machine. If that maximum is too high, Java refuses to start. Therefore, on machines with a lot of physical memory, Maple may not start either. This problem has been reported to Sun Microsystems®.
To decrease the amount of memory used by Java on Windows you can edit the file launch.ini in the Maple bin.win folder (default C:\Program Files\Maple10\bin.win).
Try adding the line
maxheap=800m
After the line
language=en
to change the heap allocated to 800MB. This change does not affect the amount of memory available to non-Java components of Maple, including the math engine, which will still take advantage of the machine's internal memory when solving large problems.
If this does not work, experiment with the size value to find one that works for you. If you continue to have difficulties, contact Maplesoft Technical Support.
Issue:
Download Maple 10 for Macintosh but when double-clicking the file, nothing happens.
Resolution:
Maple 10 for Macintosh is downloaded from the Maple Web store in a compressed format. To extract the Maple 10 installer file, you must download and install Stuffit Expander for Macintosh (free from Apple).
Issue:
Trying to install Maple 10 on Windows 2003 Server and receiving the error "The instructions at "0x004109d0" referenced memory at 0x00000000. Memory could not be written" or the installer quits with no error message.
Resolution:
This behaviour is likely caused by Data Execution Prevention that is automatically installed and turned on in Windows 2003 Server when SP1 is installed.
To turn off DEP, or to add the Maple installer (and Maple itself) to the list of exceptions for DEP, go to Control Panel->System->Advanced->Data Execution Prevention.
For more information on this see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875352
Issue:
Mounting the Maple 10 CD on my Linux machine, but only the Mac OSX files are visible.
Resolution:
The Single User CD contains the install files for all three platforms. Each platform's install files are available only from that platform. If you are trying to install on Linux and are seeing only Mac OSX files, it is likely that the CD is not mounted correctly.
Try mounting the CD with the command:
mount -t iso9660 <device> <mountpoint>
This may require root privileges.
