Hi Simon, You can register one copy of Chimera and then copy the registration file to all the machines you install it on. On Mac that registration file is ~/.chimera/registration Chimera is an old program we have not developed for the last 7 years and it has been replaced by ChimeraX which is actively developed and has many new capabilities such as AlphaFold structure prediction. So your students would be better off learning ChimeraX. Tom

Hi Simon, Thanks for asking and good luck with your class!
Yes, academic use is under the free (noncommercial) license, which automatically appears each time you download and requires clicking "accept" to continue the download.
Registration, on the other hand, is purely optional. After a certain number of uses a dialog will pop up and pester you to register, but you can dismiss it every time if you want! If you haven't gotten this reminder dialog but still want to register, you can do it using Chimera menu: Help... Registration...
I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Dear Chimera people,
I would like to use Chimera to teach some classes on an MSc course at my university and so would like to install the software on about 40 PCs. I just want to make sure that this is okay, and in particular how I would register the software. Please can you offer some guidance? Thanks very much.
Best wishes,
Simon
