MathMagic Pro Edition
is newly branched from MathMagic Personal
Edition since v3.5, to support Adobe InDesign.
Most of the features are similiar to the Personal
Edition. But Pro Edition comes with a MathMagic
Plug-in which is installed in the InDesign's
Plug-ins folder. The MathMagic Plug-in adds
the MathMagic menu UI in the InDesign's Plug-ins
menu and it interacts with the external MathMagic
Pro application for equation editing.
MathMagic Pro &
Personal Edition v3.x versions require an
Authorization to run after the fully
functional Trial period of 30 times
