- Mac users should still be able to access OriginPro using virtualization software (eg BootCamp see Run Origin on a Mac for more information).
Due to a limited number of available licences, OriginPro is now available on the Virtual Desktop Service which we are advising people to use as it is adequate for most use cases.
If you find that accessing Origin via the Virtual Desktop Service is not suitable for your work, please email itsupport@york.ac.uk to discuss this with us before following the download and installation the steps below.
This is only available to Faculty of Science staff and students only. Please also make sure that you have tried using Origin via the Virtual Desktop Service first, as that is adequate for most use cases.
