How To Renew Your License
If when you launch JMP you receive a prompt that "Your JMP License Has Expired", you will need to obtain the new license file within Canvas that has been shared by your professor. It is important to remember that there are different licenses for different versions of JMP, so it's important to confirm you are running the latest version of JMP along with the latest version of the license. For example, trying to renew JMP 14 will require a different license file than if you are trying to renew JMP 15.
Once you've downloaded the new license file from Canvas (which will be a text (.txt) file), you will need to launch JMP and click on the "Open License" option shown below:
You will need to browse to where you've downloaded the new license file, which will look something like the picture below. This example is for JMP 15.2, which you can tell by looking at the first 5 characters in the file name:
Once you've selected the new license file , click "Open":
If you've selected a valid license file, you will receive confirmation like the one shown below. You can select "Wait to Register":
