Using Stata 15 for Mac Free: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you a Dartmouth student or faculty member who wants to use Stata 15 on your Mac but is off-campus? You're in luck! With the right steps, you can access Stata 15 for free. Here's how:

Step 1: Install KeyAccess

The first step is to install KeyAccess from the System Preferences menu on your Mac. If it's not already installed, you'll need to download and install the VPN client. This will allow you to borrow a license and access Stata 15.

Step 2: Borrow a License

To borrow a license, you'll need to be temporarily connected to the Dartmouth VPN. Once you're on the VPN, go to your Applications folder and open Stata 15. If you're prompted with multiple options, choose Stata/SE as it's required for Stata 15 or higher.

Step 3: Download Stata

To download Stata 15, you'll need your NetID credentials. Once downloaded, install KeyAccess to ensure that you have a stable connection.

Step 4: Customize and Install

Before installing Stata 15, customize the installation by adding Ke圜heckout, an optional piece of KeyAccess that allows for borrowed licenses. Then, start the installation process.

Step 5: Obtain a License

To obtain a license, use the Ke圜heckout feature in KeyAccess to borrow a license that's valid for up to 21 days. You can also use this feature to obtain a long-term license before leaving campus or temporarily on VPN.

Scenario 1: On-Campus with Good Connection

If you're on-campus and have a good internet connection, you can simply install Stata 15 and access it without any issues.

Scenario 2: Off-Campus with Bad Connection

However, if you're off-campus with a bad internet connection or no network access, you'll need to use the VPN to borrow a license. This will allow you to access Stata 15 remotely.

Scenario 3: On-Campus with Temporary Access

If you're on-campus but don't have a good internet connection, you can still use Ke圜heckout to obtain a long-term license before leaving campus or temporarily on VPN.

In conclusion, using Stata 15 for Mac free requires some setup and configuration, but it's worth the effort. By following these steps, you'll be able to access Stata 15 even when off-campus.
