- 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 v4.0 does not rely on InterLok™ copy protection engine any more. So it will ask you to "Authorize" again when you launch it even though you have authorized your previous copy of MathMagic on your computer. Please use the previous "Customer #" and "Serial #" for the authorization, if you bought MathMagic in the past. Otherwise, you may use MathMagic as "Trial" mode up to 30 times before you decide to buy.
- MathMagic v4.0 will ask you to download a newer version when a newer version is released. And then it will be expired.
